Holy Name 2023 Founders Ball

Holy Name Foundation held its annual Founders Ball on April 1 at Pier Sixty in Manhattan. The event celebrates a year of achievements across the Holy Name health system.

The evening began with a performance by magician Dan White followed by a cocktail reception, dinner and dancing. Spirit of Healing honorees Dr. David Butler and Senator Paul Sarlo were also recognized for their contributions. Dr. Butler is an obstetrician/gynecologist and physician-leader who has been with Holy Name since the 1970s and has been tireless in his commitment to Hôpital Sacré Couer and the people of Milot, Haiti. Senator Sarlo, a dedicated public servant, has remained a loyal advocate for Holy Name over many years and helped enhance funding for Villa Marie Claire residential hospice.

President and CEO Michael Maron said those in attendance “possess an appreciation for the values and goals we share, the critical work we do, and a mission based on the love of humanity and a belief that the healthcare experience shouldn’t be generic and transactional but personalized through heartfelt acts of caring.”

Members of the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace were in attendance, along with representatives of Peace Ministries. 

The gala helps support Holy Name’s founding mission and allows the health system to continue providing patients with the highest quality of care possible.
