More than 120 donors gathered at the Celebration of Philanthropy held at Hamilton Golf Club in Gladstone, New Jersey, on September 29, 2021. The event acknowledged donors who contributed to the Growing Forward Campaign – supporting the renovation and expansion of Carol G. Simon Cancer Center, Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute and Goryeb Children’s Hospital – and the COVID-19 Support Fund. In total, community members contributed $40.3 million to the campaign and more than $4 million to the pandemic fund. The event began with a heartfelt video featuring patients whose lives were touched by the extraordinary care they received at Morristown Medical Center.
