Highline Medical Center Foundation will host its 3rd annual Hats On for Highline, a Kentucky Derby Day fundraiser at Emerald Downs racetrack in Auburn

This year's presenting sponsor for the event will be Merchant Credit Association (MCA). Hats on for Highline was launched in 2009 to raise awareness of Highline's Cancer Center. Attendees come to enjoy live horse racing, a silent auction, and buffet. Many are adorned in beautiful hats ready to participate a competitive hat contest. All of this takes place trackside in the VIP tent.

"We are honored to play such a vital role in supporting Highline's healthcare in the community," says MCA's President Dave Quigley.

Tickets are $60 per person and advance reservations are required. Reservation deadline is April 25th. For more information and tickets, contact the Foundation at 206-901-8500 or visit www.highlinemedicalcenter.org/support-highline. Since Highline Medical Center does not receive any tax dollars, event proceeds will benefit Highline's Cancer Center and other patient care programs.

Highline Medical Center Foundation is a nonprofit organization that raises money for patient care services, medical equipment, community outreach and continuing staff education at Highline Medical Center. Funds raised benefit programs, patients, and services throughout South King County.
