2009 Night of Gold Ball Raises $318,000 for Community Programs
Presented by John C. Lincoln Health Foundation Guild, the 40th Anniversary Night of Gold Ball was held on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2009 at the luxurious Sheraton Phoenix Downtown.
Thanks to nearly 600 generous attendees who turned out despite tough economic times, the gala fundraiser raised $318,000 for Guild GOLD (Giving Others the Lincoln Difference), a program that awards grants to help meet a wide variety of health care and social needs in our community.
"Gold grants help our hospital with community and health care services that make a difference within our organization and the community," said Brooke Edelman, Guild coordinator for the Foundation.
Featuring a Noche de Oro theme (Night of Gold in Spanish), the event showcased a raffle for a new 2009 Harley-Davidson motorcycle, silent auction items, a live auction, an impressive dinner and—of course—dancing!
The annual Night of Gold Ball is the primary fundraiser for the John C. Lincoln Health Foundation Guild.
