Description

Each year, St. Luke’s highlights individuals who have helped us fulfill our mission of improving the health of the people in the communities we serve. 

St. Luke’s wouldn’t be able to fulfill that mission without the support of individuals and businesses throughout our state – and beyond. 

The Ralph J. Comstock Jr. Light of Philanthropy Award is one of the most significant ways St. Luke’s recognizes important individuals for their outstanding achievements in leadership, philanthropy and humanitarianism. Since 1996, the award has been given to leaders in education, business and community, trail blazers in the nonprofit sector and champions of Idaho.

2025 Recipient: Rich Raimondi

On November 7, the St. Luke's Health Foundation will be proud to present the 2025 Light of Philanthropy Award to Rich Raimondi in recognition of his dedicated service and enduring commitment to advancing philanthropic and humanitarian causes to benefit our community.

  • No-host cocktail reception at 6.
  • Dinner and award program at 7. 
  • Live music and dancing following.
