The AdventHealth Manchester Foundation recently hosted its annual Lighting the Way Foundation Banquet on Thursday, October 16, at the EKU Manchester Campus.
The event brought together community members and supporters to raise funds for the hospital’s Modernization Project, an initiative focused on upgrading patient rooms to create a more healing and comfortable environment for those we serve.
Guests enjoyed an evening of inspiration and fellowship, featuring live music by Paisley Grace, a delicious dinner catered by Local Honey, and sweet treats from Jennifer Begley. A silent auction offered unique items and experiences.
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and donors, the event raised over $14,000 in support of the Modernization Project. These funds will directly enhance patient care by providing new equipment, upgraded bathrooms, and modern furnishings—ensuring our patients experience whole-person care in a space that reflects our mission of extending the healing ministry of Christ.
