鈥淕ala was a tremendous success this year and raised $31,580,鈥� said Diane Rusnak, Chair of The Health Foundation. 鈥淥ur sponsors and guests helped us to raise a lot of money that will help purchase the new digital mammography equipment for the breast cancer screening program at the Yorkton Regional Hospital.
鈥淎nytime you can raise a significant amount of money and the people helping you do that are having fun and enjoying themselves, you are probably doing something right,鈥� continued Mrs. Rusnak.
鈥淧art of the Gala experience is the ambience, with the beautiful decorations and the little extras you don鈥檛 see at other events. Gala is a special night out, and our committee works hard every year to create something special and memorable for our guests.鈥�
鈥淚n 24 years A Gala Evening in Yorkton has raised $667,000 in net revenue, all of which has been used to purchase medical equipment for our Health Region. We have strong results like this because of the support provided by the business community through sponsorship, purchasing tables and the many donations to our silent auction,鈥� continued Mrs. Rusnak.
鈥淣ext year will be our 25th annual Gala,鈥� said Mrs. Rusnak. 鈥淣ot many events receive the strong support our Gala has for 25 years, so we are going to make next year a wonderful celebration. You will not want to miss it.鈥�
