Gift of Hope dinner sets new record

Thanks to overwhelming community support, St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation raised a record $638,847 at the recent 2008 Gift of Hope Fundraising Dinner. Now in its fourth year, this event has raised more than $2 million for equipment at St. Paul’s Hospital.

More than 800 guests came to the event, which included a gourmet dinner, more than a thousand prize draws, and a performance by ABBA Cadabra and the Retro Divas. Proceeds from the dinner will help the foundation to fund state-of the art equipment for the Providence Heart + Lung Institute at St. Paul’s Hospital. However, there is still time to make a donation – the foundation continues to fundraise to reach the goal of $862,000 for this special equipment.
