The Garrett Regional Medical Center Foundation Gala Planning Committee has secured a variety of memorabilia, experiences, and items from area businesses and individuals that will be featured in the upcoming live and silent auctions at the 2023 Masquerade on the Mountain Gala on Saturday, December 2, 2023.
The event will begin at 6:00 PM at the Ag Heritage Hall at the Garrett County Fairgrounds in McHenry.
According to the GRMC Foundation, the live auction will feature select items, including a Franco Harris autographed Pittsburgh Steelers miniature helmet; a Pittsburgh Steelers Steel Curtain Defense of the 1970s four players autographed frame photo; boxed seat tickets to the 2024 Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore; a custom built, decorated, and furnished handcrafted dollhouse made by Dr. Marjorie Fridkin, GRMC’s Chief of Medical Staff; and a ceramic piece of artwork, ‘Medallion II’, from Elee Bookout commissioned by the late Loretta Bailey, a 25-year volunteer at GRMC.
Proceeds will support behavioral health services at GRMC’s Family Health and Wellness Center located at 69 Wolf Acres Drive in Oakland. Since opening in 2019, the demand for mental and behavioral health care and treatment at GRMC’s regional behavioral health center continues to climb.
The Foundation and Planning Commitee would like to extend their appreciation to the many businesses and individuals that have reached out and offered an item for the silent auction.
A few of the many highlights of the silent auction lineup include 11 Winspire experiential trip packages; a Deep Creek Lake Swan Boat excursion with a Firefly wine pairing, and a lavish week vacation home in Coral Gables, FL.
A Giving Tree will also be on display at the Gala for individuals wishing to make donations to support the behavioral health campaign.
Limited sponsorships and tickets are still available. To purchase tickets, visit www.wvumedicine.org/grmcdonate.
