The 2016 Virtua Skinny Black Tie Gala was a remarkable show of generosity, raising more than $1.2 million for Virtua
Camden. More than 1,000 attendees enjoyed entertainment by The Blues Brothers, featuring Dan Aykroyd and Jim Belushi,
and the Melanie Rice Orchestra. Proceeds will benefit vital programs and services at Virtua Camden and help to make
substantial changes that will have a profound impact on the community. Plans include a new Family Health Center that will
transform healthcare for Camden residents.
The evening also included a presentation of the Virtua Humanitarian award to Marvin Samson, founder and Chief Executive
Officer, Samson Medical Technologies, LLC. The Virtua Foundation Humanitarian Award recognizes an individual or
organization that has made significant contributions to improve the health and well-being of families in our community.
Award Honorees are trailblazers who transform healthcare or other community resources through extraordinary
leadership, innovation and philanthropic support.
