Auction will benefit Chelsea Hospital
The 25th annual Chelsea Community Hospital spring auction will take place May 8 at the IBEW Local 252 Hall, 7920 Jackson Road. Proceeds from the event will help fund the equipment and facilities necessary to begin providing chemotherapy infusion services for cancer patients at CCH. To date, $300,000 of the needed $500,000 has been raised through generous donations from the community, the Chelsea Community Hospital Auxiliary, hospital special events, and
“It’s a Great Day to Be Alive” fundraiser held in Dexter in 2009.
The silent auction, raffle, strolling buffet, and dessert bar will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by the exciting live auction at 8:30 p.m., conducted by auctioneer Steve Gross.
The event is themed “Rhinestone Cowboy,” and guests are encouraged to don their favorite cowboy gear. Prizes for best men’s and women’s costumes will be awarded. Scott Moore and Misha Strauss-Moore are this year’s auction chairpersons. The co-chairpersons are Kathy and Lou Magagna. Honorary chairpersons for the event are Patrick Conlin and Elaine Economou.
“The auction is a fun night to get together with fellow community members and support the hospital at the same time,” said Judy Stratman, director of development. “It’s a win-win situation when the guests have fun and support our new infusion center at the same time.”
Stratman emphasized that all the money raised in Chelsea stays in Chelsea.
“Our community has really stepped up to show their support for our new infusion center. We’re so grateful for their generosity and we’re pleased to tell them that every penny they donate goes directly to the betterment of our community hospital, here in Chelsea,” she said.
Many local community members and businesses have generously donated items for the event. Live auction highlights include trips to New York City, Savannah, Ga. and Cancun, Mexico, along with jewelry from La Jolla Fine Jewelry and a gourmet dinner prepared in your home by executive chef Bill Collins of Barton Hills.
