            31st Annual Crystal Ball Virtual Gala Raises $525,000 for Methodist Hospital's COVID-19 Fund

            12/9/2020

            ARCADIA, Calif. (Dec. 10, 2020) – Even though the 31st annual Crystal Ball fundraising gala was not held in its traditional format, the Methodist Hospital Foundation was able to raise more than $525,000 in support of the COVID-19 fund at Methodist Hospital. The Nov. 21 virtual event honored our hospital’s Frontline Heroes with a live television broadcast on YouTube.

            In the best interest of the health and safety of our guests, the evening’s festivities began with a VIP Drive-Thru Reception for sponsors and ticketed guests before the TV broadcast. Each attendee was greeted by Foundation staff wearing PPE as they welcomed and thanked them for their support. The atmosphere was festive with music and red-carpet jumbo screens featuring recognition messages. Guests received a three-course dinner provided by The Derby restaurant, a centerpiece, a bottle of wine and a few surprises.

            Later that evening the Virtual Crystal Ball TV program went live on YouTube with emcee Zack Krone and Methodist Hospital Foundation President Mike Driebe. The program included pre-recorded videos featuring our hospital’s Frontline Hero honorees who talked about their experiences during this pandemic. The event also included guest appearances by 2020 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodger Manager Dave Roberts, Mallory Lewis and Lamb Chop, and the cast of Station 19. It also featured a special musical performance featuring Crystal Ball 2016 headliners The Fab Four. The event included a live auction and a successful fund-a-need effort where guests could make online donations or call in their gifts.

            Crystal Ball concluded with a heartfelt message to our honorees and a special video of appreciation to all donors who generously supported this fundraiser. The Foundation is especially grateful to the two Title Super Hero Sponsors Mike and Patty Nijjar and Paul Rusnak - Rusnak Auto Group. We also want to recognize the four Grand “Epic” Sponsor Bel Air Investment Advisors LLC; Dick and Sue Hale, Peter and Jill Boli & Paul and Patty Wondries; Panda Restaurant Group and Mickey and Lee Segal & Alan and Sandy Whitman.

            To make a donation in support of Crystal Ball and the COVID-19 fund or to watch the virtual event, visit www. mhcrystalball.org or call Methodist Hospital Foundation at 626-898-8888.
