Sapphire Ball
The John S. Knight Center
The Summa Foundation
is proud to host its 10th annual Sapphire Ball at the John S. Knight
Center in Akron on Saturday, September 11, 2010. Throughout the past
decade, funds raised at this signature gala have provided support for
several important initiatives, including the Ann and David Brennan
Critical Care Center, Palliative Care Services, the Jean and Milton
Cooper Cancer Center and the Women’s Health Center. Proceeds from this
year’s ball will again support the critical needs of Women’s Health
Services.
Guests at the
elegant black-tie fundraiser will enjoy a beautiful evening of
cocktails, dinner, dancing and entertainment. The event also will
include a special presentation of the “Innovation in Health Care Award,”
which recognizes individuals or organizations for their exemplary
contributions in improving the health status of our communities through
leadership on major health policies or social initiatives and/or their
innovations in clinical practice, medical research or health services
education. |

Ride for the Red
Liberty Harley-Davidson in Boston Heights
The volunteers and staff of the
American Red Cross of Summit and Portage Counties invite all area
residents to join them on Sunday, September 12 for their 8th annual Ride
for the Red. The event kicks-off with a leisurely parade-style
motorcycle ride that’s a favorite of local motorcycle enthusiasts
followed by an afternoon of fun, food and music at Akron’s Lock 3 Park.
Proceeds from the Ride for the Red event will benefit local Red Cross
services.
“Although it’s a
fun-filled event that has grown in popularity each year,” explains
Chalan Geul, Events Manager for the Red Cross, “we want to remind people
that Ride for the Red has a serious side, as well. Each year the event
generates much-needed funding for the Red Cross – funding that supports
programs right here in our community. The economy has put the pinch on
just about all of us, so we encourage everyone to help us out by
participating in the Ride and the fun at Lock 3."
The Red Cross is
also looking for local sponsors to provide additional funding support
for the event. Interested corporations and foundations can contact the
Red Cross by calling 330-535-2224. |

Docs Who Rock
E.J. Thomas HallTickets $12 & $25
- available through E.J. Thomas Hall Box Office and
Ticketmaster.
Tickets go on sale August 30th.
The event is an opportunity for local
doctors to showcase their musical talents. Since 2006, the University of
Akron has served as sponsor of Docs Who Rock, making it possible to use
beautiful E.J. Thomas Hall.
One of the highlights of this year’s show is the much anticipated return
to the Docs Who Rock stage of Dr. Terry Gordon. Over the years, Dr.
Gordon has imitated a variety of pop culture icons, including Rod
Stewart, Austin Powers, Mick Jagger Michael Jackson, Barry Manilow and
Tina Turner. His character (or perhaps characters) for the 2010 show is
a closely guarded secret. Dr. Gordon was unable to perform in the Docs
Who Rock show for the past two years, and his return is welcome news for
the many fans of his delightful antics.
