About the NCH Ball

03.08.25

6 p.m. | The Ritz-Carlton, Naples Beach

Since the first NCH Ball in 1958, philanthropic support from our community has had a transformational effect on the growth of NCH – from a small nonprofit 50-bed hospital to a nationally recognized 716-bed, two-hospital healthcare system.
 
Join us for an enchanted evening as we illuminate the impact our nurses and frontline care team have on our patients. 
The Ball will benefit education and professional development programs to ensure we recruit and retain the best and brightest caregivers.
