Dear OVHC Friends,
The Ohio Valley Health Center is thrilled to unveil the theme for its upcoming 19th annual fundraiser gala, scheduled for Sunday, April 27, 2025. This year’s gala will embrace a rich Italian ambiance, reflected in the décor and cuisine, creating a truly enchanting experience filled with elegance, inspiration, and community spirit. The evening will begin with an Aperol Spritz Hour at 5 p.m., followed by an elegant dinner, an engaging program recognizing this year’s honorees, the highly anticipated live auction at 6 p.m. and our popular (and fun) mystery boxes totaling over $10,000 in donated prizes. Guests are encouraged to fully embrace the masquerade theme by dressing in their finest semi-formal attire, with stylish masks adding a touch of mystery and charm to the night.
The gala aims to honor individuals who have made substantial contributions to OVHC and demonstrate unwavering dedication to the community. The event plays a crucial role in supporting OVHC’s mission of providing high-quality healthcare to the medically uninsured and underinsured individuals and families of the Ohio Valley, regardless of their ability to pay. This year’s gala is about celebrating our progress and reaffirming our commitment to the community. We are dedicated to unmasking the barriers in healthcare, expanding our team of providers, broadening patient access, enhancing our programs, and upgrading our equipment to deliver even more comprehensive care. With each step forward, we bring hope, health, and healing to those in need.
We would be so grateful if you would consider sponsorship for this year’s Gala, our largest annual fundraiser. We’ve enclosed our 2025 Sponsorship Package options with a Gala Contribution Form. If you have any questions, please contact Ann at (740) 283-2856 or visit our website, www.ovhealthcenter.org. Your support for OVHC – our community’s clinic – would be most appreciated!
