The Seton Social 2011

What an incredibly amazing way to celebrate for a good cause! The Seton Hays Foundation’s Seton Social 2011 proved enormously successful thanks to the generosity of some 350 guests, sponsors and underwriters. Everyone enjoyed the beautiful Wild Onion Ranch, with many first-time visitors saying “I hadn’t heard of this place before now, but it is absolutely fabulous! What a great place for a party!”

And what a party it was. Along with the fantastic venue, Seton Social attendees enjoyed the Grammy Award-winning sounds of Grupo Fantasma, fabulous food and beverages and a whole lot more!

All total, more than $182,000 (net) was raised to benefit Seton Medical Center Hays in Kyle. Guests were in a bidding mood for both the live and silent auctions. The two combined brought in more than $81,000!

“We cannot thank all of our supporters enough for making our Seton Social 2011 so successful and memorable,” said Gerald Hill, Executive Director, Seton Hays Foundation. “In particular, I want to recognize Andy and Sarah Edgerton for opening up their ranch and their home for the event. They are true friends of Seton Hays. We can’t wait to go back next year!”

Prayers from Seton Cross

In Spanish, “milagro” means “miracle”. For centuries in Mexico, the tiny metal milagros have been used to represent prayers. The people of Mexico nail these prayers to crosses as a sign of their devotion and hope – for a sick family member or friend, a diseased body part, an ailing animal, for plants, weather – for anything these small “miracles” could possibly bring about.

At the Social, the prayers of guests were collected as they chose personal milagros and nailed them to a cross which was sold in the Live Auction. A potent devotional, we hold these prayers up, as well as our own – of continuing to serve the mission of the Seton Healthcare Family:

Our mission inspires us to care for and improve the health of those we serve with a special concern for the sick and the vulnerable. We are called to be a sign of God's unconditional love for all and believe that all persons by their creation are endowed with dignity. Seton continues the Catholic tradition of service established by our founders: Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac and Elizabeth Ann Seton.
