Party with the Pros raises funds for newborns at Genesys

(Grand Blanc, MI) Genesys Health Foundation, with the support of local community members and organizations, presents "Party with the (Buick Open) Pros," Friday, June 27, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. Three families in Grand Blanc will open their homes to host this fundraising event - Lou and Melanie Dortch, Rich and Debbie Nemesi, and Jeff and Joan Powell. These homes overlook the 16th hole of Warwick Hills Golf and Country Club, the site of the Buick Open golf tournament, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.
All proceeds from "Party with the Pros" - a Buick Open-sanctioned event - will be used to improve the care of new mothers and babies at Genesys Regional Medical Center in Grand Blanc.

Genesys Health Foundation, through a $1.8 million capital campaign, plans to expand its Special Care Nursery from a Level IIA to a Level IIB, allowing staff to care for most high-risk babies born at Genesys.

Infant morbidity and mortality rates in Michigan continue to remain among the highest in the nation, and Genesys hopes to change that through our capital campaign, reports Nick Evans, chief development officer for Genesys Health Foundation. "Thanks to the support and generosity of the Dortch, Nemesi and Powell families, this event will help raise awareness in the community of the need to improve care for new mothers and babies."

According to Rich Nemesi, one of the party's hosts, "Genesys is an important part of our community. The organization has great people doing great things for others. I believe it is in the best interest of this region to continue helping Genesys to maintain the best level of care and service for the women and children in our community. Supporting the capital campaign will make that possible."

Cost to attend "Party with the Pros" is $100 a person. This price includes heavy hors d'oeuvres, compliments of Luca's Chophouse in Grand Blanc; refreshments; and entertainment by Mark Randisi, internationally known for his Frank Sinatra sound and style. The event also features an opportunity to meet some of the golf pros playing in the Buick Open.
