Jennifer Campbell

Welcome to the homepage of the Elizabeth Ann Seton Board. For over 20 years, our board members have had one mission – to raise essential funding for the Seton Community Health Centers—each year through our annual “Evening Under the Stars” Gala. The Seton Community Health Centers offer health care and social services to both working poor, uninsured families throughout Austin as well as many local musicians. Over the 5 years, our board has raised more than $1.5 million, helping the centers grow from a one building health center to a full network of comprehensive services for thousands of Austin families.

We hope you will join us for the 2012 Gala which is set to take place on Saturday, April 21st featuring Grammy-award winning artist Randy Travis! The 2012 gala will raise money not only for the Seton Community Health Centers, but also for the Sister Gertrude Levy Endowment for the Poor which provides support for patients served at the clinics. If you have any questions or would like to receive Gala e-updates, please contact Julie Biggart at jhbiggart@seton.org or 512-324-3275.

Thank you for your support and I hope to see you on April 21st!

Jennifer Campbell
Elizabeth Ann Seton Board President
