Coos Bay, January 28, 2020: Bright Beginnings Learning Center, Bay Area Hospital’s new childcare center, will be hosting A Bright Night, a fundraising dinner to benefit Bright Beginnings on Saturday, February 8, 2020 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the Coach House Restaurant and Lounge. Tickets cost $70 to include an appetizer, entrée, silent auction, and raise the paddle and heads or tails games. 

Bright Beginnings opened on Monday, January 6th to begin serving children of Bay Area Hospital employees thanks to a grant received from the Ford Family Foundation.
