UK Final Four floor piece part of auction at St. Mary's gala | Community Spirit

St. Mary’s Warrick Foundation will hold its 20th Annual Gala on April 5 at the St. Mary’s Manor Auditorium. The event begins at 6:00 p.m. with a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by dinner, and then a live auction. Three local physicians, Dr. James Goris, Dr. James Mooney, and Dr. Kenneth Parker will be recognized for their support and services they have given to our community and hospital.

This year, a special auction item will be up for bid. UK fans will have a chance to own a piece of the actual 2012 Final Four floor where the Wildcats captured their eighth NCAA Championship, hand signed by Coach John Calipari. Only 1,000 of these pieces were produced. Each measures 12” by 18”. Northwestern Mutual, a sponsor of the NCAA, has donated this item to St. Mary’s. To view all auction items go to our website at www.stmarys.org/gala.

The Gala raises money to support St. Mary’s Warrick Foundation, which helps fund a wide range of hospital-related initiatives, all focused on helping those in need such as new equipment, staff education, remodeling, and care of the poor in the community.

Tickets are $75 each and must be purchased in advance. Sponsorships are also available. For more information and to reserve tickets, contact the St. Mary’s Warrick Foundation office at (812) 897-7397.
