Community Supper Success!

On May 20, we celebrated ten years of North by Northeast Community Health Center at our Community Supper. Over 400 of our closest friends - patients, community members, donors, new supporters, old and new volunteers, Patient Wellness Council members, and more - came out to the Melody Ballroom to show their love for North by Northeast. Thanks to each of them - and to many of you who couldn’t make it but gave anyway - the night was a huge success. We raised a net of over $80,000 to carry on our work for many years to come, exceeding our fundraising goal by $30,000. Our community came together and it was beautiful! Everyone in attendance felt the outpouring of joy and love in the room – for our work, our patients, our community and each other. As one of our attendees said, “If you’re not here, you’re missing out!”

Highlights included:
- A welcome and rousing rendition of “Lift Ev’ry Voice” from Kaiser Permanente employee and former NxNE board member Ron Shoals
- A look back at North by Northeast’s beginnings from Medical Director and co-founder Dr. Jill Ginsberg
- A video telling the story of one NxNE patient and her family

As our staff sang (to the tune of Single Ladies – watch below):
As a giver you deliver - you’re a part of us
Like a vital body organ - you’re the heart of us
Without all of you we never would have made it
If it wasn’t for your help we would have faded…Wuh uh oh!

THANK YOUs

“All of you” made the event happen, and we have a lot of you we want to thank! First, to everyone who attended, donated, got on your feet to cheer and sing along, and shared in our joy, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
