Over two hundred people came together at the Neighborhood Club in Quincy on Thursday, February 5, 2015 for the sixth annual reverse raffle and gala auction to raise money for the Saint Rock Haiti Foundation (SRHF). The event raised over $200,000 to expand primary care services at the Saint Rock Clinic and was sponsored by Saint Agatha Parish (Milton/Quincy) Global Outreach Ministry.

L to R: (L-R) Harry Gerard, Jocelyn Bresnahan, and Nancy Street; Jocelyn is the President of the Saint Rock Haiti Foundation. Harry and Nancy are from the Regis College Haiti Project.
Guests were treated to a delicious buffet and hors d’oeuvres as they bid on items in the silent auction and socialized with friends. Eileen Curran, Saint Agatha parishioner and local media personality, served as Master of Ceremonies. Josh Ellis and Gabe Bresnahan, both seasoned travelers to Saint Rock, pulled the raffle tickets, awarding interim prizes to every twenty-fifth number called. Joanne Campo of Milton won the grand prize of $10,000.
Mary Keally and Mary McLaughlin, co-chairs of the event, expressed gratitude to the many sponsors and donors who helped make the evening such a huge success. Jocelyn Bresnahan, president of SRHF, thanked all those who make it possible to provide the health care that is so desperately needed for the people of Saint Rock.
