Scripps Mercy Ball to Honor Mary and Dan Mulvihill
Mary and Dan Mulvihil’s role with Scripps Mercy began in 1972 after Dan joined a committee to oversee the construction of a new medical office building across from the hospital.
Mary and Dan Mulvihill will be honored at the 43rd Annual Mercy Ball “Celebrating Families” to recognize their generosity and support of Scripps Mercy Hospital for more than 40 years. The event benefiting maternal and child health services at Scripps Mercy Hospital will take place Saturday, March 8, at 6:30 p.m. at the Grand Del Mar.
The Mulvihills’ connection to Scripps Mercy began in 1972 after Dan joined a committee to oversee the construction of a new medical office building across from the hospital. In 1985, Mary and Dan established the Mercy Hospital Foundation, and Dan became the first chairman of the hospital’s new fundraising board. In 1986, Dan founded Mercy 1000, a group that has raised more than $100 million in unrestricted funds to benefit Scripps Mercy. He has also served on the Scripps Health Board of Trustees and on the Scripps Foundation for Medicine and Science. Mary has supported Scripps and a number of other community endeavors throughout her life.
“We feel blessed to be a part of the Mercy community,” said Dan Mulvihill. “We all have the opportunity to leave a legacy, whether great or small, that will positively have an impact on our community.”
The event chair of this year’s Mercy Ball is Lois Stanton. Lois has been involved with fundraising for Scripps Mercy since the mid-1970s when her husband, William Stanton, M.D., first joined the medical staff and later became medical director of the Scripps Cancer Center at Scripps Mercy Hospital, San Diego.
Conrad T. Prebys and Debbie Turner are the title sponsors of the 43rd Annual Mercy Ball, a role they have played since the 40th Mercy Ball in 2010.
