Heart & Soul

Heart and Soul – A Community Celebration began in 2014 as a way to honor the incredible accomplishments of the first-responders and emergency personnel who provide exemplary life-saving care to members of our community.  In addition to honoring pre-hospital emergency service and hospital providers the event also recognizes the Foundation’s Automated External Defibrillator Program (AED) program. The AED program was launched in 2001 by the Newton Medical Center Foundation with the goal of providing AED’s at a reduced rate along with training and education.  


An Evening of Wine & Roses

This annual fundraiser, which benefits Newton Medical Center and the community it serves, brings together the region’s finest culinary delights and the world’s best-tasting wines and spirits. In keeping with the culinary theme, the Newton Medical Center Foundation each year welcomes celebrity chefs to the event.


Frank Redfern Memorial Golf Open

Held each year at the pristine Lake Mohawk Golf Club, this summertime event brings together community leaders, business men, donors and golf enthusiasts for good times on the links and a chance to win a Mercedes-Benz with a hole-in-one. In the evening, attendees gather in one of the Golf Club’s grand ballrooms for dinner, giveaways and raffles.


Newton Rotary Golf

Fifty-two years ago, Ed McCracken, George Morville, Pat Dolan, Joseph Quinn and Milt Woolfenden planned a Rotary golf tournament to benefit the local hospital. It has raised more than $1 million for Newton Medical Center over the decades and continues to play a vital role in supporting quality health care services and programs.


C. Edward McCracken Festival of Lights

For 30 years, Ed’s vision has been universally embraced by the community and medical center family, inspiring vital donations including trees and lights in memory and in honor of loved ones. The event transforms the hospital grounds, dramatically illuminating the main entrance with enduring hope and a spectacular fireworks display.
