WEST PLAINS, MO – The Ozarks Healthcare Foundation’s 13th Annual Blue Jean Ball brought the community together for an evening of western-themed fun, generosity and support for local healthcare, raising $100,000 to benefit patients and healthcare services throughout the region.
Held Saturday, October 3, at Silver Springs Ranch in West Plains, the event welcomed community members, businesses and supporters for an evening featuring dinner, drinks, live music by the Liz Moriondo Band, dancing, and a silent auction filled with unique items and experiences.
Funds raised through the event support 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. “Raising $100,000 is an incredible accomplishment, and it would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors, donors, volunteers and everyone who came out to support the event.”
The Foundation extends its gratitude to the businesses and individuals who contributed sponsorships, donated auction items, volunteered their time and purchased tickets. Their support helps ensure patients throughout the region have access to exceptional healthcare close to home.
“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. Every dollar raised represents an investment in our neighbors and the future of healthcare in our region.”
The Ozarks Healthcare Foundation is grateful to everyone who helped make the 13th Annual Blue Jean Ball a success and looks forward to continuing its work to strengthen healthcare throughout the community.
