Family members of Lisa Ryan Thompson served as Honorary Chairs of the 10th Anniversary Fisher Family & Friends Auction.
Fisher Family & Friends Auction: A record-breaking evening for the Rivkin Center On November 5, 2011, over 500 guests gathered at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue for an inspirational evening to benefit the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. The event was especially jubilant as it featured Lucia Neare’s Theatrical Wonders. The artists danced, sang, and interacted with guests throughout the evening, adding an extra touch of beauty, festivity and delight. Led by the family of Lisa Ryan Thompson, our Honorary Chairs, and our event committee headed by Gloria Bensussen, Kim Fisher, Scott Swerland and Joe White, this special 10th anniversary celebration raised more than $1.12 million, a recordbreaking evening for the Rivkin Center. Once again, guests were inspired and motivated by a very generous gift from the Wanda Jankelson Foundation for Health Care and Research, which pledged $500,000 to match money raised by the event. A special thank you to our 10th anniversary sponsor, SRi, and to our other top sponsors: BDA; BizXchange; William O. & K. Carole Ellison Foundation; Edward, Eric, Rodney and Craig Fisher; Lytle Enterprises; Lois and Benjamin Mayers; MCM; Seattle Sun Tan; and Sequoyah Electric, LLC. In addition to the moving tribute from the family of Lisa Ryan Thompson, guests were also priviledged to hear from our 2011 Courage for Life Honoree, Susun Hosford. A 10-year ovarian cancer survivor, Susun gave an inspirational speech about her personal journey and her involvement on the Board of the Rivkin Center. As a planned giving donor to the Rivkin Center, Susun was delighted to share her story and also her reasons for making the Rivkin Center part of her estate plans. Each year, the Fisher Family & Friends Auction and the SummeRun & Walk for Ovarian Cancer raise money that forms the cornerstrone of the Rivkin Center’s investments in ovarian cancer research. In just 10 years, the auction has raised more than $5 million, and the SummeRun more than $4.5 million over the course of 17 years. We are grateful to the many thousands of donors who have participated in these events. We hope you will join us for our next auction as we celebrate on November 9, 2012 at the Hyatt Bellevue. The SummeRun will be held July 22, 2012. For more information visit www.rivkin.org or call (206) 215-6200. 20
