Republican Chapter Gifts Mobil Med $3,500
Proceeds Will Benefit Homeless and Working Poor
BETHESDA, MD--[On March 7th] in Bethesda, crowding into a semi-lit dance hall alive with the sounds of classic rock, prominent Republicans and local professionals gathered together to present a gift to Mobil Medical Care, Inc.
Presenting Ben Wu and Kelly Scott with a $3,500 check, Montgomery County Young Republican President Moshe Starkman said "I am honored to support Mobil Med with this check. We recognize how much you do for Montgomery County's poor and underserved, and I look forward to opportunities where the Young Republicans Mobil Med can work together in the future."
"Thank you, Moshe, for all you've done," rejoined Ben Wu, a Board Member at Mobil Med and former MCYR President. Wu continued, saying that "creating a more compassionate nation and community is very important and that's why your taking the initiative to support Mobil Med fits so well with our mission."
The proceeds from this year's Annual Charity Ball will help provide health care services to the county's uninsured, working poor and homeless.
A series of high-profile guests graced the event, including James Pelura, State Chair of the Maryland Republicans, Maryland National Committeeman Louis Pope, Montgomery County Republican Chairman, Mark Uncapher, and Maryland Young Republicans Chairman, Rachael Gingrich.
This year's benefit broke a seven-year record with nearly 90 participants.
Scott, speaking on behalf of Mobil Med, reminded everyone that the work of helping the poor is never done. "We definitely need volunteers, volunteer doctors, nurses and staff members because really what we do for Montgomery County is critical," she said.
