The Friends Gala Virtual Auction was held August 9 to 25 and raised more than $100,000 for Saint Francis Foundation. The event marked the sixth year of the fundraising event The Friends Gala, but this was the first year in a virtual format.
Contributions raised each year benefit the CancerCare and CardiacCare funds offered through the Foundation. The CardiacCare fund provides assistance with cardiac rehabilitation and other necessary services and equipment for patients unable to afford them. The CancerCare fund helps cancer patients in need with nutritional supplements, medicine, transportation and lodging.
