NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY – Recognizing the importance of a well equipped hospital, Northumberland’s doctors have joined forces to offer an exciting raffle package in support of this year’s 10th Anniversary of the Northumberland Hills Hospital Foundation Gala.

Only 500 tickets are being made available. You do not need to attend the gala to purchase a ticket.

"On behalf of the Doctors, we are pleased to support the 10th Anniversary of the Gala with this exciting raffle", says Dr. Mark Essak. "Buy a ticket and you could be basking in the Mediterranean sun next year!”.

“We are thrilled with the Doctor’s support”, say Gala co-chairs Kim Gordon and Wendy Ito, “We have an ambitious goal to raise $150,000 at this year’s event and the raffle will help us achieve this.”
