Every year there are several charity events that happen, and sometimes you may have to pick and choose which ones are close to you and/or speak to your heart as to which you will be making a donation.

ANNUAL EVENT

There is an annual charity event that happens the first Saturday in December.  It's the Holly Ball.  This has been a long time tradition and has moved throughout the years to different venues, but has been held at the Rivers Edge Convention Center for the last decade or more.  When it began in 1979, the first year it was called Holly Ball, it was held at the Holiday Inn.

PURPOSE

The event has evolved over the years with elaborate themes and decorations, but the constant has been the goal - CentraCare Foundation's signature event raises funds for CentraCare Hospice, Cancer Care and the Central Minnesota Child Advocacy Center.

THEME

This year, the theme is Bridges of Life: Honoring the Caregivers and Loved Ones Who Carry Us Through.  

DATES and TICKETS

Mark your calendar for December 6th, 2025, as the date of the big event.  The tickets are scheduled to on sale October 6th, exactly two months before the event.

If you are interested in a sponsorship for the event, there are several different levels that you can be a part of.  There are donation opportunities either one time or monthly.  There are also opportunities on some other levels that include involvement with the event.  You can contact the committee for all the information.
