Local Physicians 'Embrace
the Art of Performance
On October 30, 10 of Naples’ Top Physicians forwent the “art of
healing” and embraced the “art of performance,” all for the
benefit of two local charities – the Neighborhood Health Clinic
and the Scholarship Fund. The sold-out event took place
at Sugden Community Theatre and was emceed by ABC -7 News
co-anchors Stacey Deffenbaugh and Len Jennings.
More than $30,000 was raised to
benefit the Neighborhood Health Clinic and the
Steinway Piano Society Scholarship Fund.
The evening
began with a silent auction reception, and then featured
performances by Dr. Lee Anderson, Dr. Hope Heisler, Dr. Millard
Brooks, Dr. Barbara Rumberger, Dr. Marty Cohn, Dr. William
Lascheid, Dr. Joseph Lang, Dr. Kae Ferber, Dr. Katherine David
and Dr. Chris Cugini. These physician pianists, guitarists and
vocalists were backed up by the band, “Throat Culture” composed
of Steinway Piano Society founder Greg Billings and other
society members.
Billings said,
“Everyone had a great time and we were able to raise a
substantial amount for two great charities.” The
Neighborhood Health Clinic delivers quality medical care to
low-income uninsured Collier County adults and the Scholarship
fund provides pianos and lessons to economically disadvantaged
children.
