Tickets still remain for CHI St. Alexius Health Center’s big gala affair, “Casino Night”, set for Saturday night, March 14 at the Carrington Armory.
“Yes, we still have tickets available and will until that night,” said Nicole Threadgold, Foundation Director at CHI St. Alexius Carrington Medical Center. The event starts at 6 p.m.
Threadgold noted they are still accepting VIP, table and event sponsorships along with auction and raffle prizes. The VIP and table sponsorship categories also allow many special added entities including VIP tickets in reserved sections, added “casino cash” benefits and table side service.
VIP sponsorships cost $3,000, $2,000 and $1,000, while table sponsorships are $750 and $400. Event sponsorships are $500, $250 and $100. Individual tickets, for non-VIP attendees are $50 each.
All attendees receive $1,000 in “Casino Cash” to use at favorite casino game tables with winnings turned in at the end of the night for a chance to win fantastic prizes.
The evening also includes a catered three-course meal, complimentary champagne and cash bar, live and silent auction items and raffles.
The proceeds from the entire evening of fun benefit the radiology and lab remodel project at the CHI Center.
“We’re excited to note that our radiology and lab staff are currently working with architects and are close to finishing the design, remodel and expansion plan for their departments,” Threadgold added.
She also said that architect renderings of the floor plan will also be on display that night.
“Lifesaving equipment such as the CT machine are critical in our rural hospital. Equipment in the radiology and lab allow for patients to be seen quickly, assessed and treated... whether treatment remains local or requires care at a larger facility,” she said.
Threadgold said the hospital has outgrown space for these services since the building was built in 1986 and new equipment sizes have changed over the years.
“New technology prohibits us from upgrading pieces of equipment until we have the proper space added on for new equipment. It also does not allow us to work efficiently in our current space,” Threadgold added.
Tickets for the evening, along with sponsorships, are still available at the administration offices, Happy Heart Hutch or on the hospital’s website at chistalexiushealth.org/carrington.
