The Physicians Dinner was a huge success! We were at full capacity with over 225 guests in attendance at Sunset Country Club on September 18, 2009. Net proceeds of over $93,000 will go to St. Anthony's Hospice/de Greeff Hospice House and the St. Anthony Physician Ambassadors projects such as the Bicycle Helmet Program, Parents as Teachers, CPR Anytime, and Vial of Life. This is an event that physicians organized and provided the leadership for to raise money for these two great causes.
Entertainment for the evening was provided by Las Vegas comedian, Jimmy Keys.
