Mark your calendar for Friday, March 20, if you’re in the market for love.
Or rather, Love, Sweet Love.
The play Love, Sweet Love — produced and directed by Cassandra Vallery — will be at Highland Country Club and marks the 12th Annual Evening at the Theater … the chief fundraiser for Cumberland County-based nonprofit healthcare provider Better Health.
“We’ve been receiving a good number of donations despite the poor economy,” said Judy Klinck, executive director for Better Health. “But there is still an urgent need for funds to help us provide our services for the community.”
Better Health was founded in 1958 by a group of citizens who were concerned that the indigent could not afford their medications. From that simple starting point Better Health has bridged the gap in healthcare for 50 years.
Better Health became a United Way agency in 1959 and was incorporated in 1991 as a nonprofit organization under federal law 501(c)3. The agency expanded to become a full time, full service agency governed by a volunteer board of directors.
Among the many service sit provides:
•Prescription medications;
•Vision exams/eyeglasses;
•Emergency dental extractions;
•Orthotics & prosthetics;
•Medical supplies;
•Medical equipment;
•Gas assistance to out-of-town medical appointments;
•Diabetes monitoring clinics with education session;
•Glucometer training;
•Exercise classes for diabetics;
•Diabetes and blood pressure screening;
•Diabetes supplies;
•Foot care clinics;
•Vision screening for eye disease.
“We were founded in 1958 to help the poor who left the hospitals and couldn’t afford follow-up care or medical supplies,” said Klinck. “Unfortunately, there’s still a great need for our services here in Cumberland County.”
Klinck says the production of Love, Sweet Love was a resounding success last year, drawing about 250 theater-goers. This year’s show, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m., will include hors d’oeuvres, spirits and “festive sweets,” as well as some familiar faces.
“The same local cast has performed Love, Sweet Love the past several years,” said Klinck. “They’re very talented and very enthusiastic and do a great job.”
