The 26th Annual North Colorado Medical Center Foundation Gala, presented by Noble Energy, netted a record $230,000 for the North Colorado Medical Center Cancer Institute. Over 720 guests attended “The Great Gatsby” themed black tie affair held at the Embassy Suites in Loveland on January 31st.
Long-time NCMC Foundation Board Member and community leader Masoud Shirazi was honored with the Legacy Award, presented annually to an outstanding individual or organization for their distinguished service and commitment to improving healthcare in our region.
“The annual NCMC Foundation Gala isn’t your typical black tie fundraising dinner,” said Diana Wood, NCMC Foundation director of Special Events and Marketing. “It’s truly a unique event, which has evolved into one of the largest special events in our region. It’s a memorable evening as we raise money for the NCMC Cancer Institute, honor the Foundation Legacy Award recipient, and celebrate the excellence of NCMC and Banner Health.”
Proceeds from the 2015 Gala are directed towards technology upgrades and expansion of the NCMC Cancer Institute, currently undergoing a $10 million renovation.
The NCMC Foundation, founded in 1975, has served as NCMC’s philanthropic partner in supporting healthcare at NCMC and in the community. During that time, the Foundation has been entrusted as stewards of over $50 million in charitable gifts.
