Meteorologist Kathy Orr of FOX 29 News in Philadelphia will serve as emcee of Samaritan’s 2023 Celebration of Life Gala, presented by Holman Enterprises.
Samaritan’s 2023 Gala will be held on February 11, 2023 at 6 p.m. at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Cherry Hill, N.J. This marks the return to an in-person format for the annual fundraising event, which celebrates Samaritan’s 40-plus years of providing quality, compassionate care to more than 11,000 families annually throughout Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Mercer counties.
“We are delighted Kathy has chosen to support Samaritan as the Master of Ceremonies for our 2023 Celebration of Life Gala,” said Phillip W. Heath, president and CEO of Samaritan. “Each year, our gala helps us continue our mission of providing extraordinary compassion and professional expertise for our patients, clients and all those who care about them. With Kathy joining our event, we are certain this will be our most successful Gala to date.”
“Kathy’s dedication to service, generosity and love for the South Jersey community makes her a perfect candidate to emcee this year’s Celebration of Life Gala,” continued Heath.
