The annual St. Luke’s Allentown Campus Dinner by Starlight will take place virtually, 7 p.m. Nov. 5.

Admission is complimentary this year. Registration is required.

Dinner by Starlight is an annual fund-raiser to recognize Allentown community members who make a difference through their time, talent and money.

The Dinner by Starlight live stream is presented by ASR Media Productions and host, Eve Tannery, anchor for WMFZ Channel 69 News.

There will be an opportunity to text and make a gift to support the St. Luke’s Allentown Campus Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

This year’s event Honorary Star is not one person, but in view of the coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic, the Allentown community: family, small business, caregiver and first-responder.

In addition to the Honorary Star, the event celebrates Shining Stars whose work impacts the community: Allentown Emergency Medical Services, Fire and Police Departments.

“We are grateful to the community for the incredible outpouring of support we’ve been shown and for how Allentown residents have done their part to mask and social distance to help keep us safe,” said Glenn Granitz Jr., M.S., CJA, Allentown Police Chief.

“The pandemic has placed an unprecedented amount of stress on all healthcare providers and first responders,” said Eric Gratz, MPPM, NRP, Chief of Operations for the Allentown Bureau of EMS. “The honor of being recognized as a St. Luke’s Shining Star showcases the quiet dedication of our paramedics and the impact they have on the Allentown community.”

“Our firefighters dealt with the stress of limited PPE, abrupt change in process and safety procedures, and so much more with an overwhelmingly positive attitude. So, to be recognized by St. Luke’s is a true honor, and we are incredibly grateful for the support,” said Allentown Fire Chief James Wehr.

“The funds raised during this important event will help us expand critical NICU services and resources, so that we can continue to carry out that mission no matter what challenges may arise in the future,” said Keri Weintraub, MSN, RN, Vice President of Patient Care at St. Luke’s Allentown Campus.

Premier Sponsors are BSI Corporate Benefits, Inc., LEXUS of Lehigh Valley, and GOLD Credit Union.
