The Dauphin County Medical Society Alliance (DCMSA) will welcome Alicia Richards as the keynote speaker at its Spring Luncheon on Thursday, May 19, at 11 a.m. at the West Shore Country Club, 100 Brentwater Road, Camp Hill. DCMSA sponsors this event in support of its community health and education projects for the coming year.
Richards, a local news co-anchor, is a longtime supporter of DCMSA as master of ceremonies for previous fundraisers. DCMSA chose to feature Richards this year because of her longtime support of health projects and news coverage related to many health-related issues. Funds raised at this event will benefit the health and education projects and programs that DCMSA operates for the central Pennsylvania area. These efforts include funding for local medical clinics that serve the underserved, such as Beacon Clinic and Community Check-Up Center; local food pantries and organizations that provide nutrition assistance, like the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank, the International Service Center, and the Latino-Hispanic-American Cultural Center; and groups that provide services to children, such as PSH-SCOPE and Lower Dauphin Communities That Care. DCMSA also funds a medical student scholarship each year.
ESTEEM (Penn State Health Cosmetic Associates), the Premier sponsor of the event, will provide gifts for all participants. Mountz Jewelers will display its latest styles and has provided a 14-karat yellow gold, 1/2 carat total weight diamond bar necklace to be given away in a drawing. Approximately 15 themed baskets will also be given away in drawings.
Tickets can be purchased until Thursday, May 5, by contacting dcmsalliance@gmail.com.
