BRICK CAMPAIGN FOR NEW DAUGHTERS OF CHARITY PRAYER GARDEN AT ST. MARY’S

0

 

Community members looking to leave their mark permanently outside of St. Mary’s Medical Center now have an opportunity to do so. St. Mary’s Health Foundation has started a brick campaign for the new Daughters of Charity Prayer Garden, which is currently under construction next to St. Mary’s Chapel and St. Mary’s Center for Advanced Medicine.

A gift of $100 will purchase a brick. The prayer garden is being built to recognize the legacy of the Daughters of Charity, who founded Evansville’s first hospital in 1872. The commemorative bricks will be installed and displayed in the garden. Bricks may be purchased in honor of a loved one or friend. Each individual brick size is 8.25 inches x 5.5 inches and can be inscribed with up to three lines of text with 14 characters per line, including spaces.

“A brick campaign provides a creative way for donors to honor the spirt of the Daughters of Charity. It was through their vision and foresight that our health system became a reality. Thanks to the Daughters, we look forward to our next 140 years of person-centered care to the community,” said Rick Peltier, Director of St. Mary’s Health Foundation.

To purchase your brick, please contact Debbie Boyer, St. Mary’s Health Foundation Administrative Assistant, at 812.485.4986 or dboyer@stmarys.org.  You may also download a brick campaign flyer at www.stmarys.org/foundation.

TICKETS ON SALE FRIDAY, April 24 AT 10AM

Back by popular demand, Tom Scholz’ band BOSTON will embark on another highly anticipated

tour, following a successful run last year that brought the band back to Japan after thirty-five years. BOSTON will

play live at Ford Center Wednesday, July 15 at 7 PM with tickets going on sale April 24, at 10 AM.

Always a huge crowd pleaser with their high-energy stage show, out-of-this-world sound, and remarkable

musicianship and singing, BOSTON prides itself on performing a totally live show without the use of prerecorded

music or technical enhancements, delivering the extraordinary sound that is faithful to their studio recordings.

BOSTON became an iconic classic rock fixture when they joined the music scene with their self-titled album in

1976. With over 17 million copies sold, BOSTON generated hits such as “More Than a Feeling,” “Peace of Mind,”

and “Smokin’,” rock staples that are still in heavy rotation today. Their second album, Don’t Look Back was

another chart-topper that confirmed their place in rock history, followed by Third Stage, which hit #1 on the

charts, with the top single of 1986, “Amanda.”

With over 31 million albums sold to date, BOSTON has stood the test of time, as evidenced by live audiences that

span generations.

Fans can expect to hear all the classic songs they have grown to love, and will be treated to some new additions to

their set list based on recent requests. Guests will be treated to wild Hammond organ work, soaring harmony

guitars, and exceptional vocal arrangements, as well as BOSTON’s unique visual stage presentation and plenty of

extra-terrestrial sounds heard nowhere else on Earth.
