North Platte, Neb., November 1, 2023 – The Great Plains Health Care Foundation is
hosting its annual gala starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, December 1 at Venue 304,
returning to an in-person event for the first time since 2019.
“The theme of the event is, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life,’ just like the holiday movie that shows
how each person’s life makes an important impact on others,” said Megan McGown,
Great Plains Health Chief Development Officer and Foundation director. “We see that
impact happening each and every day through the lives of our Foundation donors who
come together to improve the patient experience.”
Proceeds support the construction of a pediatric rehab space within the new Sports and
Therapy and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation center. Whether a child needs speech therapy,
physical therapy, occupational therapy or all three types of therapy – this project
provides children a space that is specific for every part of their developmental journey.
The gala features an exquisite dinner by North 40 Chophouse, a live auction presented
by Rod Wright, upscale silent auction and music by Night Sounds Entertainment.
“We are grateful for our committee chairpersons, Shreya Agrawal and Karen Knisley,
who have dedicated countless hours of their time to make this an unforgettable and
meaningful gala,” added McGown. “We also appreciate committee members Laura
Troshynski, Nancy Faulhaber, Mary Roberts and Foundation staff Bailey Trusty for their
commitment and hard work.”
