Fall is right around the corner, and with it, one of Hackensack Meridian Meridian Health Foundations most exciting signature events: the Bayshore Oktoberfest Community Celebration. Like many other organizations, to safeguard supporters, we are transitioning this spirited event into a new and exciting virtual format.

On October 29 at 7 p.m., we invite you to tune in to HackensackMeridianHealth.org/BMCVirtualEvent for updates from our leadership, stories of survivors, moments of gratitude for our frontline caregivers and an update on our journey to build the future Dr. Robert H. Harris Emergency Care Center for our community

The virtual event will also feature a pumpkin decorating contest and a culinary demonstration by a local chef. Qualifying sponsors and donors will also receive a pre-packaged chef kit with the opportunity to follow along with the demonstration on event day.

Show us your best decorating (or carving!) skills for a chance to win one of three prizes! To qualify to win a prize, contestants will collect votes through an online giving page. All entries submitted by Monday, October 12 will be featured on event day. Winners will be announced on Friday, November 13. For more information or to enter, please contact BMCVirtualEvent@hackensackmeridian.org.

Send us a video (5-10 seconds), photo or sign to thank our health care heroes to be featured on event day! All contest, photo and video submissions must be submitted to BMCVirtualEvent@hackensackmeridian.org by Monday, October 12 to be featured on event day. All content submissions must be submitted by Wednesday, October 28 to be considered.
