Christmas came early for Mercy Health Foundation Fort Smith as Cherokee Nation Deputy Chief Bryan Warner announced an investment in Mercy Health Fort Smith s plans for a state-of-the-art cancer center and Charity Ball guests helped set a fundraiser record at the Charity Ball on Dec. 8 at the Fort Smith Convention Center.
Mercy Health Foundation Fort Smith welcomed 1,100 supporters Dec. 9 to the Fort Smith Convention Center for the return of the first live Charity Ball since 2019. The black-tie optional ball helped the nonprofit organization raise more than $600,000 and included a champagne welcome, dinner, auction and direct appeal, live entertainment by Mitch Rossell and the After Party with Limelight presented by Emerald City Band.
