The Elizabeth Ann Seton Board’s (EASB) 31st annual gala raised more than $1,340,000 in support of Mother/Baby Services and The Marialice Shivers and Dell Children’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), at The Kathryn Frances Walker Center for Neonatal Intensive Care & Family Support, at Ascension Seton Medical Center Austin (ASMCA), for programs, building, and equipment needs.
More than 650 attendees, including community leaders, dedicated sponsors, and guests celebrated the EASB Gala – La Dolce Vita. The gala featured a pre-event cocktail party and a lively after-party featuring The Blue Roses. The Golden Ticket Raffle brought in over $29,000 thanks to the $5,000 shopping spree prize donated by Korman Fine Jewelry. The program also included a live auction. The EASB President, Alexandra Reuvers, and Gala Co-Chairs, Wesley Joseph and Meredith Spears, greatly impacted the future of the NICU at ASMCA for all NICU babies and their families.
Since 1992, EASB has raised more than $22M to support the expansion of community health centers, as well as the NICU at ASMCA and Mother/Baby services. In 2023, 710 babies received care in ASMCA’s NICU. In total, there have been more than 11,000 NICU baby stays at ASMCA. For these fragile babies, the NICU brings mighty strength in the form of expert care, technology, and loving arms. To learn more, visit www.supportseton.org/events/easb-gala.
