The 23rd annual Mardi Gras Food Fest was held recently at Sirona’s in Santa Anita Park in Arcadia and the evening was filled with great fun and entertainment. More than 800 guests attended the celebration, which raised $145,000 for the new Joint & Spine Pavilion at Methodist Hospital, which is scheduled to open this spring.
In honor of their selfless dedication and hard work on behalf of patients and families living in the San Gabriel Valley, long-time Methodist Hospital orthopedic surgeon Dr. John Quigley and his wife, Margaret, served as King and Queen of the Mardi Gras Food Fest 2018.
“We are honored and grateful to be part of such a wonderful community,” said Dr. Quigley, who is a San Gabriel Valley native. “Mardi Gras has always offered friends and supporters of the hospital an opportunity to gather in a comfortable and jovial setting to enjoy one another’s company.” The Quigleys said they were “extremely appreciative” that this year’s event co-chairs are Sherri Taylor alongside cardiologist Dr. Stephen Soldo, and his wife, Patty, who were the honorees at last year’s event.
The Methodist Hospital Joint & Spine Pavilion will be staffed by specially trained nurses and therapists, who provide a wellness-based approach to care and recovery. Physicians at Methodist Hospital provide a full range of orthopedic care, including total joint replacement, spine surgery, fracture care and physical rehabilitation. Establishment of the Joint & Spine Pavilion will enable Methodist Hospital to provide customized orthopedic care for a life more active.
The Mardi Gras celebration featured gourmet foods from more than 30 of the San Gabriel Valley’s most popular restaurants, as well as offering libations, a festive parade, fun costumes, dancing, live music, a silent auction and mysterious raffle boxes, all for a great cause. The event also included dancing to the 80z All-Stars live band, and the traditional Mardi Gras parade led by the Arcadia High School pep band.
