WEST PLAINS, MO – The Ozarks Healthcare Foundation invites the community to pull on their boots and join the fun at the 13th Annual Blue Jean Ball on Saturday, October 3, at Silver Springs Ranch, Private Road 8900 in West Plains. This beloved western-themed fundraiser brings together community members, businesses, and supporters for an evening of entertainment while raising funds to support local patients and strengthen healthcare throughout the region.
The event begins at 6 p.m. and will feature a delicious dinner, refreshing drinks, live music by the Liz Moriando Band, dancing, exciting activities, and a silent auction filled with unique items and experiences. Every dollar raised supports the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation’s mission to improve health and enhance lives by providing funding for patient assistance programs, life-saving equipment, and critical healthcare services.
“The Blue Jean Ball is one of our favorite opportunities to bring our community together for a night of fun while making a meaningful difference for local patients,” Josh Reeves, Ozarks Healthcare Vice President of Development and Advocacy, said. “Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and auction item donated helps ensure patients have access to exceptional healthcare close to home. We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our supporters who continue to make this event a success year after year.”
General admission tickets include dinner, one adult beverage, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, and access to casual seating throughout the venue, including hay bales, standing pub tables, and open gathering areas designed for mingling and enjoying the evening. A cash bar will also be available.
Guests wishing to attend with a larger group may reserve a private table for eight, providing dedicated seating throughout the event.
Ticket prices are: $75 for advance general admission; $100 for general admission at the door; and $1,000 for a reserved table for eight.
In addition to purchasing tickets, community members and businesses are encouraged to support the event by donating items or experiences for the silent auction. Proceeds from the auction directly benefit the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation and its efforts to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the communities it serves.
“For many individuals and families in our rural communities, access to healthcare comes with financial and geographic challenges,” Reeves said. “The generosity shown through the Blue Jean Ball helps bridge those gaps, offering hope, healing, and support when it’s needed most. When you attend this event, you’re investing in your neighbors and the future of healthcare in our region.”
Tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and additional event information are available through the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation. Community members are encouraged to purchase tickets early and join an unforgettable evening of community, generosity, and western-themed fun – all for a meaningful cause.
