Supporters of the St. Bernardine Medical Center(SBMC) Foundation recently came out to celebrate in style at the annual “Gathering at Twilight” fundraising gala. Committed donors raised $248,000 to benefit the hospital’s cancer services and programs. With over 400 people in attendance, the evening’s special tribute honored the late Martin and Evelyn Matich for their commitment to the SBMC foundation. The masquerade-themed gala was emceed by Ron Rezek, chairman of the Foundation’s Board of Trustees and Mary Parks, senior public information specialist for the office of the Riverside County District Attorney. Highlights of the evening included presentations by Dr. Joel Block and Dr. Shellee Lazar, two physicians involved in the development of St. Bernardine’s cancer services and programs. The gala included a silent auction as well as a special “fund-a-need” auction where generous guests contributed toward the purchase of three much needed blanket warmers for various cancer-care areas at the hospital. “This year’s gala highlighted the importance of the development of a comprehensive cancer care program for the communities we serve,” said Michelle Rainer, vice president and executive director, St. Bernardine Medical Center Foundation. She went on to say, “We are deeply grateful to all our donors such as Mr. and Mrs. Ron Rezek, the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and the St. Bernardine Medical Center Medical Staff, whose support is vital to the hospital’s mission.”
