Over 400 people partied their way to better healthcare last month at the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation’s 34th Annual Valentine Ball at Tabby Place. The guests, many of whom had attended pre-ball dinner parties, enjoyed dessert, dancing, and a silent auction while helping the Foundation raise over $200,000 for a new workforce development program that will include a state-of-the-art, on-campus education center and a freestanding daycare center at Beaufort Memorial.

“This year’s event marked a new fundraising focus that is critical to the hospital’s future,” said BMH Foundation Associate Vice President and Chief Development Officer Kim Yawn. “We’re committed to investing in our employees’ long-term growth and success, as well as training new generations of health care providers to meet the growing needs of the community.” Among those enjoying the festivities at this year’s ball:

First hosted in 1990, the Valentine Ball has raised almost $6 million for new technology, services, and facility improvements for Beaufort Memorial and its patients over the past 33 years.
