2012 Monarch Ball

The 18th Annual Monarch Ball was a tremendous success. With the help of more than 850 guests, we exceeded our $900,000 goal! We were pleased to have with us Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon, Sandra Bruce, President and CEO of Presence Health, and Guy Wiebking, Chairman of the Presence Health Board. Other special guests included Cardinal Francis George and the event Emcee, Dick Johnson of NBC-5.

The wonderful evening was possible through the Monarch Ball Council's hard work under the leadership of Patrick Hickey, Donna Pugh and Don Hackl. Working with them were Scott Betzelos, M.D., Susie Cassidy, Mary Ann Miller, Dina Morris, Michael Prendergast, M.D., Angelique Richard, Hugo Velarde, M.D., and Don Versen.

Thanks to our most generous sponsors: Superior Air Ground Ambulance, Power Construction, Donovan Design, B&B Maintenance and Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman.

We appreciate everyone who purchased raffle tickets. The winner of the Premiere Raffle was Robert Marsico. The winner of the Diamond Raffle was Tim Magner. The night concluded with the world's first black tie flash mob.

We're so glad for your support. On behalf of all the communities we have the privilege of serving, thank you.
