CentraCare Health Foundation’s 2017 Holly Ball sets a record!
The CentraCare Health Foundation presented the 43rd annual Holly Ball on December 2, 2017 at the River’s Edge Convention Center with more than 2,000 guests in attendance. The Winter Nights event raised a record-breaking $820,000, which included a Fund-A-Need segment that raised $131,000!
This community engaging event included a live program with co-emcees Ken Holmen, MD, president & CEO of CentraCare Health, and Kylie Bearse of the WCCO Mid-Morning Show, featuring performances by local musicians, bands and dancers.
Also, more than 700 enthusiastic volunteers contributed to making this even a success, including co-event chairs Kelly Wahlin and Melissa Rothstein, and vice-chair Jessica Soldner. Funds raised will benefit the CentraCare Health Hospice and Coborn Cancer Center Greatest Needs Funds.
