Heather Abbott To Speak At 17th Annual Possibilities Luncheon Benefiting Siskin Hospital

  • Monday, January 20, 2020

Siskin Hospital announce Heather Abbott as the guest speaker at the 17th Annual “Possibilities: Siskin Hospital Celebrates Life Beyond Disability” Luncheon on Tuesday, March 3. The Luncheon is from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Chattanooga Convention Center.

Ms. Abbott is a model of strength and resilience following her lifechanging injury at the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombing. Little did she realize, as she waited in line at the door of a restaurant, that a terrorist bomb set to detonate just a few seconds later would blast her into a new reality. The bombing killed three people and wounded more than 200. 

The Possibilities Luncheon will also feature an inspirational video that highlights a Siskin Hospital patient who has overcome disability. This recovery story of love, courage, and perseverance shows that with hope, life can be full of possibilities, said officials. 

A dedicated Steering Committee, led by Jeff and Cindy Messinger, is working with Siskin Hospital staff to help coordinate the luncheon. The Possibilities Luncheon is Siskin Hospital’s only community-wide fundraising event. The proceeds provide needed services for patients without adequate insurance to cover the cost of their care.

Individual tickets to the event are $75. Platinum sponsorship tables of eight are available for $3,000; Crystal sponsorship tables of eight for $2,000; and Patron sponsorship tables of eight for $1,500. For more information or to reserve a place at the Possibilities Luncheon, please contact Donna Deweese at 634-1208 or ddeweese@siskinrehab.org. Online registration and donation opportunities are available by visiting www.SiskinRehab.org.
