More than 200 Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas supporters enjoyed an evening of music, dancing, food and fun at the Barn Bash Oct. 12 to raise funds for growth, innovation and expansion on the campus as part of the Here for Good Capital Campaign. The event was held at the Ecke Barn in Encinitas.

Thanks to community support, more than $400,000 was raised to help build and equip the Lusardi Tower, a new 185,000-square-foot hospital building with a state-of-the-art intensive care unit, surgical suites and private patient rooms.

Event sponsors include Connect the Docs, Ashcraft Investment Company, Rudolph and Sletten, Inc. and the Ecke family.
