A Community United
Neighbors Helping Neighbors: Concert on the Hill event returns May 11, 2023
Back by popular demand! The exclusive Neighbors Helping Neighbors: Concert on the Hill event returns to Summit House Restaurant on Thursday, May 11, 2023. Join us for an exciting evening in support of Providence St. Jude Medical Center’s Community Health Investment Programs, with live performances by Matt Mauser and the Pete Jacobs Big Band.
Every day, Providence St. Jude lives out its mission “in serving all, especially those who are poor and vulnerable” by providing thousands of low-income families living in Orange County with medical, dental and other health services. Serving the vulnerable and restoring dignity to those in need has been a defining characteristic for our ministry — and of this community.
Thanks to the generosity of our loyal supporters, the 2021 event raised over $230,000 in support of serving vulnerable senior women experiencing homelessness. Through each attendee’s presence, Providence St. Jude is helping to bring hope, healing and joy to those struggling within the health care gap. We invite you to join us and
the hundreds of compassionate, like-minded individuals within our community as we come together to uplift those who are most in need.
For more information on this upcoming event, contact the Memorial Foundation at 714-992-3033 or SJMF@providence.org.
