St. Luke's Women's Fitness Celebration
In December of 2001, St. Luke's Regional Medical Center became the Presenting Sponsor of the Celebration. The event is now housed on the St. Luke's campus and is the showcase event for St. Luke's Women's and Children's Community Services Department, which is directed by Sherry Iverson. The founding beneficiary of the event is the Marian Pritchett School at Booth Memorial, formerly Booth Memorial School. The school has received monetary donations since 1993, and continues to be a beneficiary of the event today. In addition to the Marian Pritchett School, many other local charities have been the beneficiary of the Celebration. The success of the Celebration depends on the support of sponsors, volunteers and participants. It is a community event, organized for the benefit of the participants and the promotion of health and fitness in our area.
