BCMS Gala 2006

Now Wait a Minute...
Was the Raffle Rigged?


For the second year in a row, BCMS Foundation President Dale A. Wood, MD won the foundation Gala Raffle.

In 2005, he was the lucky winner of the Bjorn’s home theatre package. In 2006, he won the $10,000 shopping spree. Hmm...cause for suspicion? No, just a guy who bought raffle tickets to support a worthy cause.

Conspiracy theorists can relax. The good news is Dr. Wood has chosen to donate $5,000 of his shopping spree back to the Foundation.

He’s designated that $3,000 be awarded to the Foundation’s scholarship fund, $1,000 will go toward the 2007 BCMS Alliance scholarship fund and another $1,000 will be designated toward the creation of a Foundation newsletter- something
sorely lacking for the last several years.
