Jefferson’s Ferry Hosts Its 16th Annual Monte Carlo Night

Jefferson’s Ferry’s annual Monte Carlo Fundraiser, “Monte Carlo Monopoly,” marked 16 years of generous support for the Jefferson’s Ferry Foundation. A crowd of nearly 250 enthusiastic party-goers came to partake of a sumptuous buffet, gaming tables, conversation and dancing. The proceeds from Monte Carlo benefit the Jefferson’s Ferry Foundation’s Resident Assistance Fund, which plays a significant role in the promise of peace of mind that the Jefferson’s Ferry lifestyle offers to its residents. The Resident Assistance Fund provides an extra cushion to help cover the monthly fees of residents who have outlived their assets or experience an unanticipated financial need through no fault of their own.

This year Jefferson’s Ferry honored ProCare LTC Pharmacy Founder Tom Hyde and President Paul Meyeroff. ProCare LTC Pharmacy is an important health care partner for Jefferson’s Ferry, providing outstanding pharmaceutical and equipment needs for residents.

“Through the generosity of many of our residents, vendors and friends, after expenses we were able to raise more than $82,000 towards the Resident Assistance Fund,” said Jefferson’s Ferry President and CEO Robert E. Caulfield. “The generosity demonstrated by so many within and outside the community who support the fund is a source of endless gratitude and indicative of the positive community spirit engendered here.”

In addition to ticket sales, the raffle baskets and spinning wheel were extremely successful this year, raising a record high. Prizes included floor seats to Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden, a LG 50" LED 2160P Smart 4K UHD TV, an Apple iPad Silver and more. The raffle prizes were secured through generous donations from Jefferson’s Ferry residents.
