shows, bingo, bridge or bunco - just about anything you can think of!
*A turnkey event is an event to benefit the hospital which is managed and

committee, solicits donations and sponsorships (with guidance of OHF) to
fund their budget, and hold independent committee meetings to organize the
event.
