Mercy Health Foundation hosted its twelfth annual Benefit for the Kids Dinner Auction at the Ritz-Carlton, St. Louis, Friday, July 31, 2015. World Wide Technology, Inc. served as the presenting sponsor, covering this evemt and the Kids Golf Tournament held on Monday, July 27th at the Whitmoor Country Club in Weldon Springs. The dinner auction culminated a week of family activities and a trivia night.
Co-chaired this year by Mercy Foundation board members John and Julie Mozeliak and Greg and Nancy Stubblefield. Rob Rubbelke served as chair of the golf tournament with honorary chair Ozzie Smith. Guests had the opportunity to bid of an array of items from jewelry, wines, exotic vacations, toys, local attractions, spa outings, sports memorabilia, and an in-home dinner party for eight prepared by Tony’s Chef Gerard Germain.
Over the past 11 years, the Benefit for Mercy Kids Golf Tournament and Dinner Auction have raised more than $5.3 million for kids in our community. On account of this event, Mercy has expanded its Child Life Department, built a state-of-the-art rooftop garden, added pediatric transport services and made the outpatient surgery center more child-friendly. This year’s 12th Annual Benefit raised over $1,000,000 that is targeted to the JFK Clinic to increase its pediatric preventive dental program.
Mercy Health Foundation comprises a non-profit organization working to provide St. Louis residents with today’s most advanced health-care services. The foundation supports projects that offer advanced technology and capital needs for Mercy Hospital St. Louis and Mercy Children’s Hospital, as well as hospice services for the community.
Mercy’s compassionate healing environment and innovative system of care would not occur without the funds raised at Benefit for the Kids through local corporate support. By sponsoring Benefit for the Kids, you help provide hope and healing to our smallest patients.
