2022 Champagne Ball Honoree

A Highlight of the evening included a record-breaking Fund-a-Cause that supported Comfort Care at Phelps Hospital.

The Fund-a-Cause was generously matched 2:1 for every dollar raised up to $100,000. This means every dollar raised turned into $3.

Thanks to the generous support of the community, we will build more Comfort Care rooms at Phelps Hospital and enhance the care we provide to our patients, their loved ones and our dedicated staff.

To learn more visit: Comfort Care at Phelps.

The Champagne Ball is our largest annual fundraising event. Proceeds will directly support Phelps Hospital’s mission of caring for our community. Your support will be a tribute to all of our Phelps team members who stand together with a shared commitment that every patient deserves exceptional, compassionate healthcare—every time.
