Tickets available for 58th Annual St. John's Auxiliary Spring Fling Gala

The 58th Annual Spring Fling Gala will be held on Saturday, May 27 at Jackson Lake Lodge in Moran, Wyoming. Hosted by the St. John’s Medical Center Auxiliary, the Spring Fling historically kicks off the summer season and draws nearly 370 guests up to Jackson Lake Lodge.

Vicki Rosenberg, a longtime Auxiliary member and this year’s Gala chair, said, “This is the largest fundraiser the St. John’s Auxiliary has throughout the year. In the past, it has funded 3-D mammography equipment and the Living Center Activity bus. This year we are raising funds for our recently announced $350,000 pledge to fund the staff training costs and licensing agreements associated with the Medical Center’s recently announced affiliation with Huntsman Cancer Institute.”

The evening begins with a cocktail hour at 6:00 pm, with dinner following at 7:00 pm. Auctioneer Leland Christensen will lead the bidding on items ranging from private catered dinners to vacations in Idaho, Arizona, Utah, and Montana.

The evening will conclude with dancing to the popular band Screen Door Porch.

There will be a drawing for raffle prizes, which include an acrylic painting of a great grey owl, titled “Wisdom in Silence” by Shannon Marie Artistry; a custom pet portrait by Shannon Marie Artistry; a gold leaf, colored pencil illustration by Henry Williams; and a framed 36” x 20” photograph of Taggart Lake by Matteo Steiner.
