The Lakeside Foundation reports that its annual Gala Dinner raised $18,550 in support of the purchase of a digital mammography machine for its radiology department as well an additional $34,000 for the health system. The dinner, held on December 7, featured international disguise specialist and prosthetic expert Robert R. Barron.
“We so greatly appreciate the support from our community,” said Susan L. Parrino, executive director for the Foundation. “The contributions from so many exemplify our supporters’ generosity, as well as the value and importance our health system holds for our community.”
For numerous years, the Lakeside Foundation has sponsored the Annual Gala Dinner. The dinner, rated as one of the signature events in the Rochester area, has brought to the Rochester region famous speakers such as Presidents George Bush and Gerald Ford, Barbara Bush, Rudy Giuliani, General Colin Powell, Walter Cronkite and Laura Bush. This year’s dinner took place at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
