On Saturday, Dec., hundreds of partygoers attended the 26th Annual Cabinet Peaks Foundation’s Festival Fundraising Gala.

Over the years, this event has been extremely successful and has now brought in more than $750,000 in funds to aid Cabinet Peaks Medical Center in providing high quality health care with state-of-the-art equipment to Lincoln County residents.

2022’s Gala was no exception, with more than 200 attendees and over $60,000 in funds raised for Cabinet Peaks Medical Center.

“The Cabinet Peaks Foundation Board and I are amazed by the results of this event once again this year. I am so very grateful for this community’s commitment to our medical center, and for their understanding of the importance of keeping quality care and state-of-the art medical technology available here in Lincoln County. Mostly, I am truly humbled by their spirit of giving to this event year after year; we are in awe of the success of Saturday night,” said Allye Anderson, Executive Director of the Foundation.

The 26th annual Gala was one for the books. Foundation Board President and emcee, Tony Rebo, took some time to thank Kerry Beasley, KC Rokstad, Kate Stephens and Foundation Boards past and present who have worked so hard over the past 26 years to make the gala what it is today. The evening also included a photo booth that brought a chance for party goers to bring a piece of the Gala home with them, and of course the crowd danced the night away to the vocal stylings of The Hankers.

In addition to the people who attended the Festival Gala this year, several businesses and individuals in the community and throughout the region supported the event through cash contributions prior to the Gala.

Several more donated live and silent auction items, Christmas trees, and raffle baskets to help raise money. “We really can’t say thank you enough,” Anderson said. “The community support that it takes to pull off an event of this size is truly incredible. The board and I are forever grateful to those who contributed through sponsorships, raffle and auction items, tree donations, and to those who came out to enjoy the evening. Each of you made this event the success that it was and we are thankful for your support.”
