BMH Honors Chuck Cummings at Annual Giving From The Heart Gala
Brattleboro Memorial Hospital announced tickets are on sale now for its annual Giving From The Heart Gala, which starts at 6:30 PM on Saturday, April 21 at the All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church.
During this year’s festivities, BMH will honor Chuck Cummings for his charitable support of the hospital and other area non-profits. Cummings is a retired partner from the Brattleboro law firm Kristensen Cummings Phillips & Carroll. In addition to serving on the hospital board, he has been a trustee for Thompson House, Rescue Inc. and the Winston Prouty Center, among other community organizations.
The gala will feature a cash bar and hardy hors d’oeuvres provided by North End Butchers, with music for dancing by the Tom Foolery Band. Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee will sponsor a “Showers to Flowers” auction featuring spring-themed packages to bid on.
Proceeds from this year’s gala will support BMH Oncology Services. The hospital provides care to patients experiencing cancer and their families through its outpatient clinic five days a week. The board-certified staff includes Letha Mills, MD, and James Nickerson, MD, and Agnes Mikijaniec, NP, as well as certified oncology nurses Barbara Evans, RN, Barbara Philbrick, RN and Gloria Solar, RN. Nurse Navigator Kelly McCue and the Comprehensive Breast Care Program are also part of the hospital’s oncology department.
Tickets are $75.00 per person and can be purchased in advance (purchase tickets) or by calling the BMH Office of Development & Community Relations at 802-257-8314. The All Souls UU Church is located at 29 South Street in West Brattleboro, Vermont. Visit ascvt.org for directions.
BMH “Showers to Flowers” Auction to Raise Money for Cancer Care
Area stores, restaurants, hotels and other businesses have generously contributed products and services to help raise funds for cancer care services at BMH. The donated items have been combined into spring-themed packages which will be auctioned off the night of the gala.
Tickets to an upcoming Neil Diamond concert at TD Garden highlight the “Spring Fling” package, courtesy of TD Bank. Cycling enthusiasts may enjoy the “Spring Excursion” package, which includes services at Burrows Specialized Sports and West Hill Shop, plus a two-night stay at the Wildflower Inn and free registration in the Tour de Heifer farm-to-farm bicycle tour. BMH President and CEO Steven R. Gordon and his wife Sharon are contributing a one-week stay at their vacation home in Chatham, Massachusetts for a “Spring Break on the Cape” getaway package.
More auction packages will continue to be added as the date of the gala approaches. A full list is available by visiting bmhvt.org and clicking on the Giving From The Heart graphic. The “Showers to Flowers” auction is sponsored by Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee.
