The Good Samaritans’ gala on Saturday, February 3, created a captivating “ARTRAGEOUS” evening for friends of the Good Samaritan Foundation. Six hundred thirty-five guests gathered at Cincinnati Music Hall in support of The Good Samaritans’ 39th Annual Gala, “ARTRAGEOUS,” which proved to truly be a masterpiece, setting a new fundraising record of $718,000!

 

 

 

Proceeds raised from the Gala support Forever Forward along with annual support of the Medical Education Research Fund and the Good Samaritan Free Health Center. 

 

“Proceeds from the event continue to move Good Sam forward in delivering the right care in the right place at the right time to produce the right outcomes. This ensures everyone in our community has access to innovative, compassionate care with the exceptional patient experience we all deserve,” said Mary Rafferty, President and CEO of Good Samaritan Foundation. “Thank you to everyone who helped make the evening such a success!” 

 

Guests enjoyed dinner, cocktails, and dancing the night away to Atlanta-based musical talent A-Town A-List Band. They also were kept entertained with artsy activities, including a 360-degree photo booth, colorful face painting, caricature artists, an adult lite bright, and more! Sponsors and Forward Partners underwrote the evening’s activities, entertainment, meal, and sweet treats.

 

Good Samaritan Foundation is grateful to the sponsors, underwriters, donors and attendees who made this event possible! A very special thank you goes out to the 2024 Gala Committee, which includes Dr. Kristin Coppage, Kari Dunki-Jacobs, Shiva Ghazi, Lesley-Ann Gracey, Tessie Hayden, Renita Homan, Caroline Isaacs, Joyce Lehmann, Laura Mena, Alandra Parchman, Jennifer Pavelka, and Melody Weil, as well as Physician Champion Dr. Stephen Blatt.
