Blue Jean Ball Raises Over $100,000 for Local Healthcare Initiatives

Nearly 500 community members came together in support of local healthcare at the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation’s annual Blue Jean Ball on Saturday, October 4, at Silver Springs Ranch. The event raised an impressive $100,077 to benefit Ozarks Healthcare patients and local healthcare initiatives.

Guests enjoyed an evening of dinner, live music, dancing, and both silent and live auctions, all in a relaxed, western-themed atmosphere. Proceeds from the event will directly support the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation’s mission to enhance patient care and fund critical needs throughout the health system.

“We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who came out to make this year’s Blue Jean Ball such a success,” Josh Reeves, Vice President of Development and Advocacy at Ozarks Healthcare, said. “The generosity of our community allows us to continue providing compassionate, high-quality healthcare close to home.”

The Ozarks Healthcare Foundation extends special thanks to event sponsors, donors, and all who helped make the evening possible. Their support ensures Ozarks Healthcare can continue to grow and invest in life-changing resources for patients across the region.
