Summer soiree a celebration of philanthropy

Posted on August 19, 2016 By Editor Social Events

In a celebration of philanthropy, Shircliff Society members and guests gathered for a summer soiree, held July 30 at St. Vincent’s Spirituality Center. One of two annual social events that provide a mix-and-mingle opportunity for prospective members to learn about the young professionals group and its fundraising projects, the get-together was catered by St. Vincent’s culinary staff.

The Shircliff Society, named after St. Vincent HealthCare supporter and philanthropist Robert “Bob” Shircliff, serves to inspire young leaders to focus on improving the health of the community through giving and volunteering. The Society’s current project, a Book Nook for St. Vincent’s Family Medical Center, reached its $25,000 fundraising goal, which was matched by the St. Vincent Physicians Society. The Book Nook will be ready for use sometime this fall.
