Griffin Hospital to hold annual Gala at Quarry Walk in Oxford




DERBY - The 2018 Griffin Hospital Gala offers a unique look into the future along with lavish food, tantalizing auction items, and lively music and dancing from 6-11 p.m. Sept. 29 at Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road, Oxford.
Held under a spacious tent at Oxford’s burgeoning new “Towne Center,” the Gala will feature one-of-a-kind décor highlighting the natural elements of fire, water, and stone. Guests will dine on exquisite and alluring cuisine by OnTheMarc Caters and enjoy the invigorating and eclectic sounds of La Blanc Entertainment to finish the evening. 
There will be a silent auction for guests to bid on exciting prizes, including vacations and one-of-a-kind memorabilia.

The location of the Gala highlights the emerging Quarry Walk, an innovative multi-use development that brings together residential and retail properties, walking trails, and a community green and amphitheater that will serve as a center for activity in the growing town of Oxford. 
Quarry Walk will also be the site of an advanced medical office campus designed for Griffin’s vision of a “new generation of care,” focusing on preventative services, chronic disease management and care coordination to enhance the health and well-being of individuals that live and work in the region.
Proceeds from the Gala will help Griffin advance the development of this next-generation population health approach.
Alan Mathog, Chairman of the Breaking New Ground Capital Campaign that funded the development of Griffin’s Center for Cancer Care, will be honored with the 2018 Presidents Award at the Gala.

Tickets start at $185 per person. Black tie suggested.
For more information on tickets or sponsorship opportunities, contact Lisa Nista, 203-732-7384, or email lnista@griffinhealth.org, or visit griffinhealth.org/gala.
