Results Of Moore County Health Foundation’s Second Annual Boot Scootin’ Gala

In 2010, through generous sponsorships and donations to the Boot Scootin’ Gala, over $50,000 was raised to benefit the provision of health care services at Moore County Hospital District.

On a pleasant summer evening, Moore County Health Foundation (MCHF) hosted its second annual Boot Scootin’ Gala at Talon Point in Channing, Texas. The event was a fantastic tribute to our Texas roots, with hundreds of guests attending to indulge in a delicious dinner, myriad of special activities, and great live entertainment.

Moore County Hospital District, in association with AccessCare Dialysis and the DEDC is working to bring dialysis service to the Moore County area. “This year,” said Gala chair, Bret Brown, “the MCHF goal for the Gala was to raise funds to purchase and operate a transportation vehicle to benefit local dialysis patients. We felt that this would be a huge benefit to our community.

“We know that our community is concerned about continuing quality healthcare, and that’s why Moore County Health Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 charitable organization was formed, “To promote Moore County Hospital District by improving community healthcare through fundraising, education, and support.”

“The support and generous sponsorships from area businesses and individuals to the Gala were outstanding!” Brown added. MCHD CEO Jeff Turner remarked, “Dialysis patients and their families experience an incredible amount of inconvenience and stress traveling three times each and every week to receive dialysis.” Turner added, “We believe AccessCare Dialysis will offer a valuable service to dialysis patients in our area and the Foundation can assist by helping to secure local transportation services.”

“The Boot Scootin’ Gala is the culmination of many hours of work by a dedicated, hard-working group of people, who make a tremendous impact in our community by fundraising for needed healthcare services in our area,” said Brown. “We thank each of them and look forward to next year’s Gala.” He added special thanks to the entertainment by Bruce Robison, Kelly Willis, Ed Montana, Mike Fuller and Blake Clark. “We appreciate everyone’s support of the Moore County Health Foundation.”
