Description

The Good Samaritan Medical Dental Ministry held a one-day free clinic in Riverside, CA, where we welcomed anyone in the community seeking free medical care. We also completed a two-week trip to Vietnam in July 2017, providing medical, dental, optometric and surgical care to nearly 3,000 underserved patients. Unfortunately, many of our patients are still not able to benefit greatly from life-changing surgeries as we require additional funds to care for these patients. We are holding this gala in hopes of raising enough funds to care for all of our remaining patients.

Our gala will be held at Riverside Community Hospital, with a lovely dinner, a traditional ao dai evolution fashion show, live music entertainment, and a silent auction.

We are seeking items to showcase in our silent auction in order to raise enough funds to provide additional medical care for our patients. Funds may also be used toward our other programs which provide free medical dental care to the local community here in Riverside, CA, or it may be used toward building or renovating preschools or providing preschool and elementary school students with jackets, boots and backpacks in Vietnam.

Thank you so much for your consideration!
