2011 Silver Hill Hospital Gala

The 2nd Annual Silver Hill Hospital Gala will be held on Thursday, November 3rd at Cipriani 42nd Street, New York. Emmy-nominated Carrie Fisher - esteemed author, award winning actress and former patient of Silver Hill - will be present to be honored for her advocacy work on behalf of mental illness. Michael Cominotto and Dennis Basso, who inspired the first gala event in 2010, will serve as honorary co-chairs for 2011. Last year, through their generous efforts, $1.3 million was raised for scholarships for adolescents and young adults needing financial aid to fund residential care at the hospital. Net proceeds this year will again be dedicated to scholarship support for residential treatment at Silver Hill, but we will expand upon last year’s focus on young people to include patients of all ages.
