Methodist Home Hosts Nature Heals Gala to Support Garden Renovation Project

What an unforgettable night at the Nature Heals Gala, held at the Tappan Hill Manson on November 7!

The energy was electric, and we were thrilled to see a full house of passionate supporters come together for a cause that truly matters – our garden renovation project.

The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, and every corner was filled with vibrant conversation and laughter.


Recap of the Evening

Guests were treated to a delicious array of mouthwatering food, while the music kept the evening alive. Cocktail hour featured the smooth sounds of a talented Jazz Trio, setting the perfect tone for the night.

The trio, consisting of Sterling Cozza on piano, Rudi Semah on bass, and Dani Danor on drums, brought elegance and charm to the atmosphere.

As the evening unfolded, the crowd was entertained by an incredible duet performance from Michael and Patrice, whose vocal talents and heartfelt performances had everyone mesmerized. Their chemistry and passion truly brought the event to life.

The energy stayed high thanks to our amazing MC Brian Lewis, whose enthusiasm and charisma kept the crowd laughing, dancing, and fully engaged from start to finish. His fun spirit was the perfect complement to the evening’s festivities.

We are excited to share that, thanks to the generosity of our attendees, we raised $129,458 towards our $250,000 goal!

This year, we had the privilege of honoring Rev. Eric Park and Tara Park, as well as RN Express Registry LLC, for their exceptional contributions to our mission.

The successes we achieve are made possible by the dedication of our supporters who believe in our mission and invest their time and resources to help us realize it. All of the generous donations we have received will significantly enhance the lives of our residents as we continue to develop and improve our facility’s programs and services.

From start to finish, the evening was a huge success. The invaluable support we received reflects a shared commitment to fostering a nurturing and caring environment for our residents and the wider community we serve.

If you missed the event and would still like to contribute to our garden renovation project, you can still do so here. Any amount will help us make this exciting project a reality for everyone who lives in, works at, and visits our historic home.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.
