Great Adaptations

Our annual fundraiser for safety net medical care was held virtually on the evening of Saturday, January 9th.  Guests were treated to an all-star lineup of entertainment that featured an opening mindfulness moment led by Hawaiian Healer and Master Coach Jeff Bow; Dr. Dave Cosca of Yorba Wines singing an original composition titled “If There Ever Was A Time” from his cabin in Ketchum, Idaho; New York Times best-selling author John Lescroart reading from his suspenseful trial novel, The 13th Juror; former NCAA All-American and current UC Davis women’s tennis coach Bill Maze sharing Wimbledon-worthy strokes and game strategy; commercial airline pilot Steve Amesbury giving us the inside scoop about what he does in the cockpit while the rest of us are munching on pretzels in the passenger cabin; a magical musical performance by Julie Silva, her merry band of ukulele players, and Ukulenny; Evan Lessler, Founder of Adapt Clothing, telling the story of his brand and how he adapted and emerged from a battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia; a testimonial from long time Serotonin Surge Charities sponsor Kelly Kaneski of Kaneski Associates and New York Life; and stories of safety net care from Drs. Christopher Bowlus and Christian Swanson who volunteer through the Sierra Sacramento Valley Medical Society’s SPIRIT Program.   Click here to view a recording of the event.  The passcode is =bmZTM9D
