After shining on the national scene, the Tri-State Medical Alliance wants others to shimmer at its premiere event.
The Tri-State Medical Alliance is an organization whose members strive to assist their physician spouses in improving healthcare in the region. Despite being a year old, the American Medical Association Alliance awarded TSMA a spot on its Membership Honor Roll this year. It also won the AMAA’s Social Media Excellence Award, and president Karan Pastora won the Outstanding SPARK Leader award in June.
“It is a great honor to be recognized for such a prestigious award by a national and well-respected entity,” says Pastora.
TSMA is hosting an event starting at 10 a.m. on Sept. 24 at Evansville Country Club, 3810 Stringtown Road, to raise money for other nonprofit organizations. “Put Some Bling On It” will feature shopping for items from various vendors with more than 20 booths present. There also will be a silent auction with many items, including a $2,900 diamond pendant from The Diamond Galleria and a $3,000 hand-knotted rug from the Rug Gallery in Newburgh, Indiana. A one-carat solitaire diamond, retail valued at $9,000, from The Diamond Galleria and an international vacation package highlight the bidding pieces for the live auction.
Sponsors include Harding, Shymanski, and Company, The Diamond Galleria, Dillard’s, Victoria’s Boutique, St. Mary’s Hospital, Deaconess Hospital, Banterra Bank, and Tucker Publishing Group. In addition to the items up for bid, each attendee also will receive an original Alex and Ani designer bracelet from The Diamond Galleria.
“All the funds from this event are donated back into the Tri-State area to help various nonprofit healthcare entities, which is our main goal,” says Pastora.
