The Charity Ball, one of the premier events in this region, benefits direct patient care to a designated fund of your choice. The 19th annual Charity Ball, “One Night Only,” will be held on Saturday, November 4 at Sloan Convention Center in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Please consider investing in this event as we continue to provide healthcare services to those in our community who cannot afford this care on their own.
More than $4.2 million has been raised from this event supporting healthcare in our communities. Because of the generosity of Commonwealth Health Corporation, parent company of Med Center Health, 100% of all donations support designated initiatives.
Since inception of the Charity Ball in 2005, the money raised has supported The Community Clinic and The Dental Clinic. This year, we are enhancing the event by offering our sponsors a choice to make an even greater impact in our community by choosing a designated fund.
Our main initiatives supported by this event include:
- The Community Clinic and The Dental Clinic provides low cost medical and dental services for those who cannot afford these services on their own
- Guardian Angel Children Services Program benefits children under 18 with medical or dental needs
- Hospitality House, a “home-away-from-home” for families of patients receiving care at The Medical Center at Bowling Green or Commonwealth Regional Specialty Hospital
- Cancer Center provides assistance with transportation, medications, screenings and other patient needs to ensure each patient receives the best possible care
- Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) helps provide state-of-the-art equipment for the care of premature or high-risk infants
- The Charity Ball, the most prestigious ball in this region, is a black tie event. The night includes a cocktail reception, seated dinner, open bar, a live auction, online auction and live band. Sponsors are invited to an elite reception prior to the start of cocktail hour in their honor. Each year’s theme is carried out by transforming Sloan Convention Center into a night you will not forget. The “party with a purpose” makes a huge difference in the lives of those in our community.
