Plans are underway for the 27th Annual Levi Hospital’s Benefit Gala to be held November 3. This is the 15th year that Levi Hospital’s fundraising event has been known as the Baron’s Ball and this year the Baron, Davis Tillman, will present “Venetian Carnival” – a fantastic evening filled with glitz, glamour, fine dining, live entertainment, and dancing.
Levi Hospital would like to thank Davis for sharing his time and talent over the years to help raise funds for the programs at Levi Hospital.
This year the Gala Committee is pleased to announce a very special act that will grace the stage, Matthew Richardson – an American Roue Cyr artist currently living in Montreal, Quebec.
What is a Cyr Wheel? The Cyr wheel (also known as the roue Cyr, mono wheel or simple wheel) is an acrobatic apparatus that consists of a single large ring made of aluminum or steel with a diameter approximately 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 in) taller than the performer.
The performer stands inside the Cyr wheel and grasps its rim, causing it to roll and spin gyroscopically while performing acrobatic moves in and around the rotating wheel. The modern Cyr wheel consists of a single ring and has no handles. The Cyr wheel takes its name from Daniel Cyr, who reinvented it as a circus apparatus at the end of the 20th century. Don’t miss this amazing performance and so much more!
This fundraising gala will be held at the Hot Springs Convention Center in Horner Hall beginning at 6:00 p.m. with a reception and silent auction. At 7:00 p.m. doors will open for guests to enjoy a first-class dinner, followed by live entertainment and a DJ Dance Party to close out the night!
All proceeds from the Baron’s Ball benefit the programs at Levi which include Outpatient Rehabilitation Therapy Services, Student Athlete Programs, Levi Transitions Counseling, and Adult Inpatient Psychiatric Care.
The hospital is well-recognized throughout the State for its work with those with psychiatric disorders, as it is one of the few hospitals that will take patients 18 years and up. To learn more about Levi’s services, visit www.levihospital.com.
“While Levi has great facilities and equipment, our success comes directly from the team of dedicated professionals whose only mission is to bring the patient to their highest level of function, whether that be physical, mental or emotional.
“Levi Hospital is one of the oldest and longest serving hospitals in the State of Arkansas having opened its doors on November 1, 1914. Since that date, Levi Hospital has gained a reputation of providing superior care within its defined services. Levi has always focused on meeting the community health needs, and as such, has modified its programming to address those critical, unmet and underserved needs,” said Pat McCabe, President and CEO.
As the hospital continues to meet the needs of its community, fundraising is still an important component to providing quality patient care. Lending your support to this event will directly impact the quality programs provided by the caring staff at Levi Hospital.
As a not-for-profit entity, Levi provides services within the resources of its organization.
