Saturday, November 14th marked a festive and successful date for our community! Jan and Kim Kantor, co-chairs for the 57th annual NCH Hospital Ball, are pleased to announce “not only did we have an absolute ball at the ball, we raised in excess of $1 million dollars towards improving stroke care delivery to residents and visitors of Collier County.” Ciccarelli Advisory Services and the Ciccarelli Family offered their support as presenting sponsors for the evening.
The festively dressed entertainers meandered through the exquisitely dressed ball guests, where gowns and tuxes made it a night for special occasion and great photography. The Chairman’s Reception featured the live auction items of diamonds and a world cruise, with luxury cars awaiting the crowd in the courtyard as they headed for dinner in the Vanderbilt ballroom at the Ritz Carlton Beach Resort. Paul Todd, a featured concert for bid, performed in the Silent Auction Reception where phones were busy with electronic bids on travel, wines, sports items, and dining experiences, the multitude of items graciously donated.
Music and entertainers led the guests through the Physician and Nurse honorees greeting line where they stood proudly in front of their photo board display. They were awaiting their salute and the announcement of the “Physician of the Year” and “Nurses of the Year” awards. In the elegant dining room, tables were set in whites, accented with beautiful florals and the glitter of crystals and candles. All focus was to center stage where the program began with Peter Busch as the Master of Ceremonies.
The results were a success! A much needed robot was one of the contributions set forth by a donor for $150,000 and a number of attendees raised their paddle to support the “Fund a Need” that was highlighted that evening. The funds raised will be used to support the purchase of a bi-plane at the NCH North Naples Campus.
