NCH Hospital Ball
Ciccarelli Advisory Services, Inc. is pleased to be a presenting sponsor of the 57th Annual NCH Hospital Ball, to be held on Saturday, November 14, 2015 at The Ritz Carlton Beach Resort in Naples, Florida. We are honored to have as Chairs of this year’s event, our own Kim Ciccarelli Kantor and Jan Kantor, both who have a long history of philanthropic interests.
Each year, the proceeds raised through support of the NCH Ball help to fund various projects of the NCH Healthcare system, a non-profit organization helping to provide care to those in need. Over $7,000,000 has been raised to date, adding valuable equipment and services to our community.
This year’s NCH Ball will benefit the NCH Foglia Comprehensive Stroke Center. In 2014, our Hospital treated over 700 patients who showed symptoms of, or who experienced a full blown stroke. It is the primary cause of severe long-term disability and the 4th leading cause of death within the U.S. Each year, stroke affects over 795,000 Americans, with over 130,000 deaths[1]. The costs also add up. Costs in the U.S. alone, total an estimated $34 billion each year[2]. Stroke is not discriminatory, giving no distinction to ethnicity, gender or even age. It can affect everyone and anyone. The need, therefore, for a state of the art stroke care center in Collier County is crucial. The proceeds will specifically benefit the addition of a new bi-plane to the NCH North Campus to ensure the provision of timely stroke care.
The Ball will feature a night of dinner and dancing and live and silent auctions to raise money to fund this year’s mission. Anyone who wishes to support the event and its mission are welcomed to purchase tickets to attend at www.NCHmd.org/hospitalball. There will also be an opportunity to participate in the auction two weeks prior to the event by bidding on auction items online.
Please join Ciccarelli Advisory Services, Inc. in lending your support for this worthy cause. For more information, contact Monica at the NCH Healthcare Foundation at 239-624-5000.
