Dear Friends of Summa,
With much enthusiasm, we invite you to join us on Saturday, September 8, 2012, for the Sapphire Ball, Summa Foundation’s 11th signature gala to support the work of Summa Health System, one of the premier health systems in Ohio.
Summa’s mission is to provide the highest quality, compassionate care to its patients and members and to contribute to a healthier community. We were honored to be asked to co-chair this important event. This will be our eighth year of attendance at the Sapphire Ball and we believe the event gets better each year. Akron is very important to us and we are committed to seeing this city flourish. We know firsthand how important it is to have world class care close by and support Summa in its efforts to build a healthier community.
This year, proceeds from the Sapphire Ball will once again support Women’s Health Services at Summa. Summa’s Women’s Health is nationally recognized for innovative, patient centered care. Proceeds from the past two events have supported important research and education initiatives and driven progress in bringing women’s health issues to the forefront for today’s busy mothers, daughters, wives and sisters. Summa is taking a leading role in managing the health and well-being of women at every stage of their lives.
2012 promises all the enchantment and surprises you have come to expect from the Sapphire Ball—a black tie gala with gourmet dining, superb décor, dancing, world class treasure chest raffles and the wonderful company of the region’s philanthropic, corporate and civic leaders.
Your invitation will be in the mail in early June so be on the lookout. If you are not sure if you are on our Sapphire Ball mailing list, please use this website to give us your contact information and we will mail you an invitation promptly.
