Annual NCH Ball

The NCH Ball is the longest running annual gala in the history of Naples! Every year, for more than 60 years, friends of the healthcare system come together on one special evening to raise meaningful support for critical hospital programs and services. The NCH Ball consistently draws more than 400 generous supporters and sells out quickly, so please save the date and plan to join us for an evening of excitement, fun and goodwill!

Banyan Society Luncheon - February 2021

BANYAN SOCIETY LUNCHEON

The Banyan Society Luncheon recognizes the generosity of those who have remembered the NCH Healthcare System through a planned gift. Each year, generous donors make a commitment to the NCH Healthcare System by giving through their estates. These gifts vary in size, form and purpose, but each adds strength to the hospital’s ability to serve the community. It is our privilege to honor our Banyan Society members at this annual luncheon.

NCH Center for Philanthropy Magnolia Ball 2017

MAGNOLIA BALL

 The Magnolia Ball transports guests to a time of true southern spirit and charming elegance. The Magnolia Ball raises awareness and financial assistance for the health and well-being of area patients with cancer, giving people the tools and support they need to fight cancer and win their health back. A biennial event that began in 2001, the Magnolia Ball has raised close to $9 million to provide equipment, facilities, treatment and caring support for Naples area cancer patients and their families.

Thank you to Magnolia Ball Founders Suzanne and Bob Chute, the generous leadership and participation of past chairs, committee members and supporters!

In 2017, more than $800,000 was raised to launch a comprehensive Cancer Navigation program.
