The 20th Anniversary of Hackettstown Regional Medical Centers Foundation Cotillion was a record-breaker in more ways than one! The black tie gala, held in early November, netted over $108,000 the largest net ever for this event. Adding to the excitement was the fact that the largest Cotillion crowd to be recorded, 430 people, were on hand to help make this happen.

Skylands Community Bank was the Presenting Sponsor of the event. All net proceeds from this years Cotillion have been designated for the expansion of surgical services at HRMC, including the building out and equipping of a fourth operating room.

Needless to say, were absolutely thrilled with the success of this years Cotillion, stated Maria DiGiovanni, chairperson of the events planning committee. The level of support and enthusiasm offered for the Cotillion was incredible our sponsors, advertisers and attendees were very generous and, particularly during these difficult economic times, that says so much. Were very grateful.

HRMC President & CEO, Gene Milton, FACHE, and his wife, Donna, were the Honorary Chairs of the event. Dr. Gautam Desai, a longtime HRMC-affiliated physician who is board certified in Internal, Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine, was the Physician Honoree.

The evening included dining and dancing to the sounds of New Jersey show band The Infernos; a high-value 50/50 raffle drawing; and the annual Silent Auction.
