The inaugural San Jose Q&A tested contestants’ knowledge — what was San Jose’s first sister city anyway? — and brought in $230,000.
Valley Health Foundation CEO Michael Elliott, left, Janikke Klem of Heritage Bank of Commerce, center, and Mark Ritchie of Ritchie Commercial compete in the inaugural San Jose Q&A, a trivia fundraiser for the Michael Van Every Burn Fund, on Thursday, Oct. 17, 2024, at San Jose Stage Company.
He came up with the idea of having a “fun” fundraiser that wasn’t the usual banquet dinner or auction and hit up some history-minded people to come up with questions about San Jose and Santa Clara County that would challenge the three contestants — Valley Health Foundation CEO Michael Elliott, Janikke Klem of Heritage Bank of Commerce and Mark Ritchie of Ritchie Commercial.
But, as Van Every pointed out, the big winner was the burn unit at Valley Medical Center, which will be able to use those funds to help out more patients.Recognizing that not everyone has the ability to easily get to necessary medical care, a quartet of organizations teamed up on a good solution: A mobile medical clinic that will make regular visits to areas to provide uninsured adults with free healthcare, including chronic condition management and referrals for specialized care.
They cut the ribbon on the state-of-the-art vehicle, which includes two exam rooms, on Thursday at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in East San Jose with a crowd that included Catholic Charities of Santa Clara County CEO Greg Kepferle, RotaCare Bay Area CEO JP Kaur Sahi; Mike Blach and Vic Giacalone, who are on the board of Order of Malta, Western Association USA; and Vince Sunzeri, who headed up the project team for the Rotary Club of San Jose.
