Newport Hospital's 2014 Gala is Swinging on a Star

The theme of this year's gala is "Swinging on a Star" and it will be held at Ochre Point.

Bringing together friends and supporters to celebrate the life-saving work of Newport Hospital while raising funds critical to patient care, Newport Hospital will hold its 2014 Summer Gala, Swinging on a Star, at breathtaking Ochre Court in Newport on Thursday, July 10. 

Offering guests the opportunity to spend an evening in Newport’s second largest mansion, Swinging on a Star, chaired by Anne and Matt Hamilton and Ginny and Jim Purviance, will feature an assortment of exquisite cuisine prepared by Russell Morin Fine Catering, dinner music by Mike Walsh & Friends, a choreographed dance performance by Able Mind and Body, dancing to the sounds of DJ Jackie Henderson, and a Live Auction presented by Emlen and Liz Drayton. A special floating sculpture and aerial installation created by artist Janice Lee Kelly add to the evening’s magical décor. 

Proceeds from this year’s gala will support Newport Hospital programs and improvements that have the most crucial and pressing funding needs, directly benefiting patients and their families. In addition, funds raised through the live auction and blitz will support the hospital’s Comprehensive Cancer Center program and the hiring of a patient navigator to ensure all cancer patients have one consistent person on their care team to help guide them through every phase of their care, from diagnosis to survivorship.
