“We’re excited to support this group of impactful and deserving charitable organizations this year through Rose Ball fundraising,” said Dan Adams, president of the Charity Ball Board executive committee. “This is what the Rose Ball is all about – supporting the needs of our community, and we’re so blessed to have organizations, volunteers and leaders to help drive that initiative year after year.”
The other half of the 2023 Rose Ball’s proceeds will be given to Bon Secours St. Francis Health System. Funds will be used toward the St. Francis Cancer Center’s $1.8 million project to bolster its cancer program by incorporating surgical subspecialties including:
