COUDERSPORT, Pa., Oct. 15, 2026 – The Cole Foundation’s third annual gala, Neon Nights, brought together 120 guests and raised more than $15,000 to support UPMC Cole. Held Sept. 12 at the Coudersport Consistory, the event celebrated the generosity of the sponsors, donors, attendees and volunteers who help the Foundation serve not only UPMC Cole, but also its surrounding communities.
“The gala is a wonderful reflection of how strongly this community comes together to support local health care,” said Andrea Streich, director, Cole Foundation. “Every sponsorship, donated auction item, ticket purchase, and bid helps us keep these dollars local and make a meaningful difference for the patients and families served by UPMC Cole.”
