(Las Vegas Style!)

GLOVERSVILLE, NY – The Nathan Littauer Foundation is hosting an evening of Las Vegas style. The EVENT returns in 2023 as the Foundation serves up food and live entertainment to support the work of Nathan Littauer Hospital.

This year, the June 16 EVENT will be held at the Eccentric Club, located at 109 North Main Street, Gloversville, NY. Guests from the community, local business leaders, medical staff, Littauer employees, and longtime friends will come together for an evening of celebration and support for the vital work of the hospital.

Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will be used for the purchase of Hematology and Urinalysis analyzers for the Littauer laboratory – equipment that will perform thousands of tests each year. “The new analyzers will automate specimen processing that has been done manually,” said Nathan Littauer Laboratory Manager Ronald Fortes. “Utilizing technology will produce more accurate test results and allow laboratory technologists to complete a larger volume of tests daily.” “The equipment is expensive, but we expect to raise the majority of the $200,000 price tag with this year’s fundraiser,” added Foundation Executive Director Geoffrey Peck.

Guests attending the EVENT will experience an atmosphere of real Vegas flash and style. Doors open at 7:00 p.m. and the entertainers take the stage beginning at 8:00 p.m. Hors d’oeuvres, a luxe Vegas buffet, carving stations, and signature sweets will be catered by Johnstown’s Union Hall Restaurant.

The Foundation Events Committee went over the top this year, booking three Vegas performers “Elvis” (Donny Elvis – Don Romines of Schenectady, NY), “Sinatra” (Frank Frizalone of Massapequa, NY), and Gloversville native, “Gracie Smilez.” (Anthony Leo).

Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on extraordinary silent auction offerings, with all proceeds directly benefiting the Nathan Littauer Foundation’s initiative.

“The EVENT is an opportunity to unite our community in supporting its hospital,” said Nathan Littauer President and CEO Sean Fadale, FACHE. “By attending our extraordinary gala, guests will not only enjoy a memorable evening but also contribute to the overall health and well-being of our community. Together, we can make a significant impact and ensure a brighter future for all.”
