Tri-City Hospital Foundation to Host First Casino Night Fundraiser

Tri-City Hospital Foundation’s first community fundaiser of 2016 will also be a first-ever event for the charitable arm of Tri-City Medical Center – a James Bond-inspired Casino Night. Planned for Saturday, March 5 at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa, the themed affair will continue the Foundation’s mission to update and expand the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Tri-City and further enhance the level of services available to mothers and babies in North County San Diego.

“This event will be a fun addition for the Foundation and open to everone in our community,” said Glen Newhart, CFRE, President of Tri-City Hospital Foundation. “Since the NICU and Women and Infant Services have such a powerful, positive impact on the lives of so many local families, we look forward to welcoming everyone and setting the expansion up for a successful completion this summer.”

After a $1.2 million project, the Tri-City Medical Center NICU – the only Level III/critical care facility in North County – will have more space and tools for physicians and nurses, private rooms for greater comfort and be even better equipped to give hundreds of ill infants healthy, bright futures. Completion is anticipated for summer 2016.

Casino Night attendees are encouraged to dress as their favorite Bond, villain or Bond Girl and accept their license to party. The event includes a delicious buffet dinner, complimentary wine and Champagne, a silent auction, an opportunity drawing and a no-host martini bar – serving shaken, not stirred, libations.

Individual tickets are available for $150 and include general seating, $1,000 in gaming chips, dinner and complimentary parking; while groups of eight can reserve a table for $1,500 to enjoy the same perks, plus table signage and bottle service. Sponsorships are also available ranging from $1,200 to $25,000.
