The Heart of Volunteerism: Norma Wilson, celebrated for her countless hours of volunteer work.

Mindy Danovaro, Executive Director of Marshall Foundation for Community Health, shared her excitement for the event, stating, “The theme ‘The Magic of Marshall’ perfectly captures the wonder and transformation we’ve witnessed over the past 50 years. This Gala is not just a celebration of our history but a continuation of the magic we’ve created together, inspiring hope and health for the future.”

“This gala celebrates our deeply rooted partnership with the Marshall Foundation for Community Health,” said Siri Nelson, Chief Executive Officer at Marshall. “The Foundation’s role is critical to elevating the health and wellness of our community’s most underserved and underrepresented populations. Our shared vision is fundamental to expanding our impact and ensuring everyone in El Dorado County has the opportunity to achieve their best health.”

In addition to celebrating these achievements, the Gala will feature a retrospective of the Foundation’s history, a gourmet dinner, live music, and entertainment that will add an extra sprinkle of magic to the evening. Attendees will also have the opportunity to support future health initiatives, including the construction of a new cardiac catheterization lab.
