Guests at the 17th Annual PVM Gala danced the night away on November 8th at The Mint in Lathrup Village. They were greeted by a champagne wall which was the first clue that a new and energized take on a long-standing tradition was in store for them. Dancers from the Mitchell Finke Dance Troupe added to the flair for the evening. However, attendees of all ages joined in the fun for the entire evening. A more informal afterglow took place with bowling available and welcomed. No one seemed to want to go home, a sign of a great party! Thanks to our donors and sponsors $276,260 was raised.

Why You’re Needed... Thanks to generous donors like YOU, we’ve been able to raise over $2.1 million for a state-of-the-art Health & Wellness Center at the Village of East Harbor in Chesterfield. That’s great news for residents like Pat, who turned to East Harbor’s in-house therapy team after falling and breaking her arm nearly three years ago. “The range of motion the therapists helped me to achieve exceeded what my surgeon thought I’d be able to do,” Pat says. All this, she says, despite the limited space and equipment staff had to work with. “Think of what I could have achieved in a larger space,” Pat says. “I could have been the next pitcher for the Tigers!” Thankfully, East Harbor’s new Health & Wellness Center will soon become a reality for Pat and her fellow seniors. The first phase of the project – a state-of-the-art rehab center – is already open,

with construction on the Health & Wellness Center slated to wrap in 2021. The new, expanded space will offer specialized health programs, equipment, personal trainers and more – all tailored to meet the health needs of older adults. You are making this happen. And for that, we can’t thank you enough.
