WESTFIELD – Noble Hospital’s 50th Anniversary Ball was held on Saturday at the MassMutual Center in Springfield. An estimated 800 guests attended the black tie event, which featured live entertainment, silent and live auctions, dinner and dancing.
Since the first Ball in 1959, Noble Hospital has used this signature event to raise money for hospital operating funds, building improvements, equipment purchases, and more. The 2013 Ball raised $250,000 for the Oncology Unit in order to provide a more comfortable environment for our cancer patients and their families. This year’s proceeds will be used to enhance Noble’s entrance and reception area to provide updated ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) access.
“Our goal is to make Noble easily-accessible for all,” said Vice President of Community Development Allison Gearing-Kalill.
Over $250,000 was raised at the event.
