The 4th Annual Citrus Memorial Ball

4th Annual Citrus Memorial Ball

On May 16, 2009, this fourth annual elegant affair was held at a new venue: at the magnificent Black Diamond Ranch Clubhouse. The theme was titled "Diamonds are Forever" and was sold out a month in advance. More than 200 people, dancing to the Band called "EZEE", also enjoyed a sumptuous gourmet dinner. The event raised over $60,000 which will benefit the Hospital's capital campaign project.

In keeping with the theme, guests were greeted with beverages of Diamond-tinis and were offered the chance to have their pictures taken with the full-size image of James Bond! A lovely silent auction was enhanced with a LIVE auction for the first time, with both raising over $10,000.

This event for the Foundation was paid for entirely by sponsors and these sponsors were recognized with a presentation of plaques. The Ball Steering Committee, including its co-chairs Susan Gill and Ellen Zane, were also acknowledged for all their hard work to make the evening a success. Josh Wooten served as the Master of Ceremonies.
