Marshall the honoree for SNCH casino event

Posted

Tammy Marshall, the executive director of Maple Pointe Assisted Living in Rockville Centre, was named the honoree of South Nassau Communities Hospital’s fourth annual Casino Royale.

The event will be held on March 9 at 6 p.m. at the Coral House in Baldwin.

Marshall and her team at Maple Point has raised over $72,000 on behalf of South Nassau through multiple fundraisers she has organized over the past several years.  This year, she expanded her efforts, launching a host of new events that have increased donations.

“Tammy has been a special friend to South Nassau Communities Hospital for a number of years and has shown tremendous dedication to our hospital and our mission,” said Richard J. Murphy, South Nassau’s president and CEO.  “She has gone above and beyond for our patients and has helped raise awareness and funds for the work we do. We appreciate her support.”

In addition to her responsibilities at Maple Pointe, Marshall serves on the board of directors as well as executive committee of the New York State Center for Assisted Living.

Proceeds from the event will support South Nassau’s emergency department Expansion Campaign.  The campaign is a five-year, $10 million fundraising initiative to help pay for a $60 million renovation of the Oceanside emergency department.

The expansion project will nearly double the size of the emergency department, providing space to accommodate a projected 80,000 patient visits each year as well as establishing dedicated areas for behavioral health and pediatric emergencies.

Casino Night will feature Vegas-style games such as black jack, craps, and roulette, in addition to “Top Hat Bingo,” in which the winner will receive a top hat filled with casino money and prizes.  There is also a buffet dinner and a chance to win other prizes as New York Mets tickets and a 48-inch “smart” television.
