SSM Health Foundation’s Bright Night gala

SSM Health Foundation hosted its annual Bright Night Gala in October at the Ritz Carlton, St. Louis in Clayton. Guests spent the first part of the night sipping on cocktails and enjoying hors d’oeuvres. A three-course dinner and silent and live auctions followed. All proceeds from the event help to support, strengthen and stabilize the metro area community through health services. Co-chairs for the evening were Anne Rister and Emery Skolfield. 

“For nearly 150 years, we have had the privilege of serving our communities, helping those who need it most and providing exceptional health care services to all,” SSM Health Foundation president Paul Ross says. “But this work is a community effort. It’s only through the support of our sponsors, partners and benefactors that we’re able to extend a helping hand to all those who need us and ensure that every individual in the community has equal access to, knowledge of and resources for receiving the care they deserve. The result is a healthier, happier and more connected community for us all.”
