(West Islip, NY) The 51st Annual Good Samaritan Ball, “An Evening at the Copacabana” will be held on Friday, September 27, 7:00 pm to midnight at Crest Hollow Country Club. The 2013 Gala Honorees are long-time West Islip residents Lorraine and John Pace, well known throughout the region for their business, civic and philanthropic work. The Ball will support The Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation, with proceeds to benefit the Cancer Center at Good Samaritan Hospital.
Good Samaritan has made a significant commitment to caring for the region’s cancer patients through the establishment of its multidisciplinary, comprehensive Cancer Center, where all of the pieces are in place to provide excellence in cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment. Staffed by expert physicians, skilled and compassionate nurses, and allied health professionals, Good Samaritan’s patients’ outcomes are often equivalent or superior to those reported by major cancer centers around the country.
This stellar black tie affair includes cocktails, dinner and dancing. The Ball gives the hospital’s dedicated supporters an occasion to celebrate the achievements of the past year. It also provides an opportunity for hospital friends to show their support for Good Samaritan’s commitment to excellence in service to those in need.
Tickets are $300 per person, and sponsorship opportunities are available.
