The annual event, which typically raises more than $100,000 for the school\u2019s scholarship endowment, was canceled in 2020 and 2021 as a result of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>This year, the unique outdoor dining experience that draws hundreds has been moved to the Barboursville Soccer Complex. Sponsored by the school\u2019s major teaching hospital partner, Mountain Health Network, Standing Out in Our Field will feature a \u201cNight in Havana\u201d theme and serve up a gourmet Cuban menu by Cabell Huntington Hospital\u2019s Executive Chef Don Sallada.<\/p>\n<p>The event begins with a reception at 6 p.m. and is followed by dinner and dancing from 7 to 11 p.m., featuring music by the band Big Planet Soul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so excited to be having this amazing event again and looking forward to our new location at Barboursville Park. What\u2019s truly special about this evening is our current medical school students and other volunteers are the waitstaff,\u201d said Linda S. Holmes, director of development and alumni affairs at the Marshall School of Medicine. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t serve nearly 500 attendees without them, and they are truly grateful for the opportunity to interact with many of the donors making their scholarships to medical school possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Proceeds from the annual event go to provide much-needed support for medical student scholarships. This year, event chairs, Dr. Bobby and Eric Hardin Miller have set a goal to add another $150,000 to the school\u2019s scholarship endowment.<\/p>\n<p>Event sponsors to date include Mountain Health Network, Valley Health, Champion Industries, Ohio Valley Physicians Inc., Radiology Inc, Retina Consultants, Diane C. and Maurice A.
