More than 150 area business leaders and community members attended “Social Hour
for Social Change,” a Cocktail Party and Silent Auction in support of the
Salvation Army, which provides shelter, hot meals, counseling, job training,
drug rehabilitation and more for those in need. The evening, which took place
at SunnyBrook Ballroom in Pottstown, raised more than $20,000 through corporate
sponsorships, ticket sales, donations and a silent auction. The event was also
a final culmination of PMA Medical Specialists’ 50th birthday
celebrations.
Silent
Auction items included gift certificates to area restaurants, spas, golf clubs,
and many other local businesses, as well as beautiful flower arrangements, gift
baskets and more! Winning guests helped to raise nearly $4,000 that evening.
“As someone who has lived and worked in this community for
years, I realized early-on the need to give back. My passion for medicine and
helping individuals, led me to establish my practice in Phoenixville, and
eventually grow our medical group to what it is today – a multi-specialty
physicians practice that serves residents of Montgomery, Chester and Delaware
counties,” stated Joel W. Eisner, MD. “Celebrating our 50th
milestone was the perfect opportunity to give back to our community. We
chose the Salvation Army because approximately 82 cents of every dollar goes in
direct assistance to those in need, and the donations stay in the community in
which they are received.”
“Not only did we exceed our FUNdraising goal by $10,000, we
came together as a community to make this happen!” said Timothy Rimmer, CEO.
“We’d like to thank all of our corporate sponsors, the businesses and
individuals who donated silent auction items, and our guests for making the
evening a resounding success. If you didn’t get a chance to contribute to
Social Hour for Social Change, we are still accepting donations at all PMA
locations through the end of January, just look for the red kettles.”
