LITTLE RIVER, SC (PRESS RELEASE) –While many are enjoying fun in the sun during their summer vacation, the McLeod Loris Seacoast Foundation Ball Committee will be busy making final preparations for the 7thAnnual McLeod Health Foundation Ball, presented by MagMutual. The proceeds from this year’s event will be benefiting the Emergency Department expansion project at McLeod Seacoast.
On Saturday, August 1, 2015, the Carolina Ballroom at the Sea Trail Convention Center in Sunset Beach, NC, will be magically transformed as the ball committee hosts “Top Hats & Tiaras”. Guests will begin the evening with a cocktail reception and silent auction, followed by a gourmet dinner and dancing with live entertainment.
“Our local communities have strongly supported both McLeod Loris and McLeod Seacoast hospitals. As we continue to grow and expand our services at our hospitals, our reach into the community also expands,” said Kelly Hughes, Director of the McLeod Health Foundation. “We are excited about hosting this year’s event at Sea Trail Convention Center in Sunset Beach so that we can include our friends in Brunswick County as well.”
