Bayshore Medical Center Foundation
Hosting Virtual Oktoberfest
To safeguard supporters, Hackensack Meridian Bayshore Medical
Center Foundation has moved its annual October fundraising
event to a virtual format to be held on Friday, Oct. 29 at 7 pm. In
lieu of the planned, in-person Oktoberfest celebration, the foundation
will host a program that donors can stream live to continue to raise necessary
funds for Hackensack Meridian Bayshore Medical Center, which
will address the growing health needs of the community. Funds raised
will support both the future Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center,
as well as the medical center’s COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund.
“Since last year’s fundraising event, construction of the Dr. Robert
H. Harris Emergency Care Center has taken off,” said Frank Citara, MBA,
chief hospital executive at Bayshore Medical Center. “I am thrilled to
share that we have remained on schedule and that we look forward to
opening our beautiful new facility to the public in late 2021. While we
are making great progress, more support is needed so we can enhance
the facility with additional technologies and safety measures to ensure
we are prepared for whatever unknowns come our way in the future. The
community really rallied behind us during the height of the COVID-19
pandemic in the spring and we are hopeful that the generous spirit that
was exhibited during that timeframe will translate into additional gifts.”
The Bayshore Oktoberfest Community Celebration virtual event,
chaired by Carol Stillwell and Mary Ann Larkin, will include updates
from Hackensack Meridian Health leadership on the current Emergency

Care Center project and inspirational videos and tributes to our health
“We are disappointed that we will be unable to gather together in
person this year, particularly after this challenging time during which
our health care heroes are really getting the credit they are long overdue,”
Stillwell said. “What better way to thank these heroes than to make
a gift in support of this important project, which will essentially, help
them, help you.”
In addition to moving videos and updates, the Bayshore Oktoberfest
Community Celebration virtual event will feature a pumpkin decorating
contest in which community submissions are welcome, as well as a culinary
demonstration by a local chef. Qualifying sponsors and donors will
also receive a pre-packaged chef kit with the opportunity to follow along
with the demonstration on event day.

There is no cost to participate as a viewer; however, donations and
sponsorships in support of the event can be made on the registration
website and are critical to its success.
