Proceeds from the 2013 Holiday Festival exceeded our goal of $140,000.00 and will be used to purchase new technology for improved breast diagnostic services at Rice Memorial Hospital. Your generous financial support, and deep commitment of time and talent, will make a tremendous difference for every single patient who will undergo a breast cancer diagnostic process.

Special thanks to the Pierce Family Foundation for their gift to underwrite this year’s Holiday Festival.

GATSBY COMMITTEE

The Holiday Festival can only go on through the enormous efforts of a fabulous volunteer planning committee. They meet months in advance and bring dozens of other volunteers on board to make it all come together: decorations, sponsors, table setters, vendors, musicians, and more. They work long hours without pay, all to benefit the health and wellness of our community – hats off to this year’s committee!
