Silver Springs Ranch to Host Ozarks Healthcare Foundation’s Blue Jean Ball

The Ozarks Healthcare Foundation’s signature fundraising event, the 13th Annual Blue Jean Ball, returns Saturday, Oct. 3, bringing an evening of Western-themed fun, live music and community spirit to Silver Springs Ranch.

Set against the scenic backdrop of Silver Springs Ranch in Howell Township, the event will begin at 6 p.m. and feature dinner, dancing, drinks, activities, a silent auction and live music from the Liz Moriondo Band.

“We’re so grateful to Silver Springs Ranch for providing such a beautiful and memorable setting for this year’s Blue Jean Ball,” Josh Reeves, Ozarks Healthcare Vice President of Development and Advocacy, said. “We look forward to bringing our community together for an evening of fun while supporting the Foundation’s mission to help local patients and strengthen healthcare in the communities we serve.”

General admission tickets are $75 in advance and include dinner, one adult beverage and unlimited non-alcoholic drinks. Additional adult beverages will be available for purchase at the cash bar. General admission guests will have access to casual seating throughout the venue, including hay bales, standing pub tables and open gathering areas.

For guests looking to attend with a group, reserved tables for eight are available for $1,000, providing a dedicated space for guests to gather and enjoy the evening.

The Blue Jean Ball will also feature a silent auction with unique items and experiences, along with activities throughout the evening. Proceeds from the event benefit the Ozarks Healthcare Foundation and its efforts to support local patients and strengthen healthcare services in the region.

Funds raised through the Blue Jean Ball help support initiatives such as patient assistance programs, medical equipment and critical healthcare needs that help keep quality care close to home.

For rural communities, access to healthcare can come with financial and geographic challenges. Foundation supporters help provide resources that can make a meaningful difference for patients and families while strengthening healthcare for the region as a whole.

Guests are encouraged to dust off their denim, pull on their boots and join the Foundation for an evening of music, food, fellowship and giving at Silver Springs Ranch.

The 13th Annual Blue Jean Ball will be held Saturday, Oct. 3, at Silver Springs Ranch, located at Private Road 8900 in West Plains. The event begins at 6 p.m.
