2024 Ball Photo Album

A Highlight of the evening included a Fund-a-Cause that supported the expansion of the Health and Wellness Center at Phelps Hospital.

The Fund-a-Cause was generously matched 2:1 for every dollar raised up to $100,000 and 1:1 for every dollar raised up to $150,000. This means every dollar raised up to $100,000 turned into $3 and every dollar raised up to $150,000 turned into $2.
