The PremierCommunity support made The Premier 2012 a rousing successThe Premier 2012, Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center's annual black tie dinner and entertainment extravaganza, was a rousing success. Don't take our word for it ... see for yourself.
The black tie dinner and entertainment gala returned for its eighth year to the Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel for a five-star evening of food, fun and music. Palm trees, surf boards and beach balls filled the room as Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Beach Boys founding member Al Jardine and his Endless Summer Band performed 50 years of Beach Boys music – thanks to the support of the Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel, our headline sponsor. Buffalo jazz great Bobby Militello provided dinner music with his quartet and JoyRyde and the Hitmen Horns kept everyone dancing well into the night. As chairpersons of The Premier 2012, we were so pleased to see so many people have such a wonderful time for such a worthwhile cause. Better still, the funds raised this year bring the total raised from this annual event to more than $900,000 to support innovative healthcare and cutting edge technology at Memorial. A first-class event does not happen by accident. We are grateful to every one of our more than 40 sponsors for their generous support. As always, Seneca Nation of Indians President Robert O. Porter and Seneca Gaming Corporation Chairman Karen Karsten were the perfect hosts. Their staff, led by President and CEO Cathy Walker, Director of Catering Karen Nordaby and Executive Chef Gary McHale, was just outstanding. Thank you all for your hard work! We were honored to pay tribute at the event to two outstanding individuals for their contributions to Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. Senator George Maziarz was honored for his unwavering support for Niagara Falls Memorial including securing financial support for the Heart Center of Niagara and ER1 and securing casino revenues to support healthcare delivery. Senator Maziarz has been one of Memorial’s most visible and effective advocates. Dr. Naresh Jain is a beloved, longtime member of the medical staff at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. Dr. Jain and his wife Achla have been longtime supporters of Memorial’s Niagara Cup Classic golf tournament, serving as event co-chairs for many years. Through his dedication to We would also like to thank WGRZ Channel 2 television anchor and reporter Maryalice Demler for an outstanding job as mistress of ceremonies. So many people contributed to the success of this event that we cannot name them all. But from our sponsors to our planning committee and from our volunteers to our attendees – you all made the Premier 2012 a night to remember! Thank you! Judi Nolan Powell
