The Superior Health Foundation held its Eighth Annual Gala on Saturday, Sept. 14, in the Grand Ball Room in the new Northern Center on the campus of Northern Michigan University in Marquette. More than 400 guests were treated to an elegant dinner, a program and entertainment by The Pulse, an 80s band from Detroit. In addition, more than $32,000 in prizes were awarded. The theme for the 2019 Gala was “Caring for our Seniors.” The event netted approximately $90,000.
