About our beneficiary

They’re with us at the most critical times in our lives – from the first moment we open our eyes at birth to the last moments of comfort in our old age. Nurses and hospital frontline care workers shepherd us through sickness and injury. They’re selfless, whether there’s a pandemic or a hurricane, heading to work to make sure the rest of us are OK.

This year’s NCH Ball provides an opportunity for us to support the nurses and hospital staff who routinely support our own lives and well-being.

The 66th Annual NCH Ball will raise funds for education and professional development to ensure we recruit and retain the best caregivers. From scholarships to nurse residencies, internships, mentorships and recognition programs, we can give back to those who have given so much to enhance our own lives.

The 66th Annual NCH Ball is graciously sponsored by
