Saint Luke’s East Hospital – Boo Ball

Saint Luke’s East Hospital’s Boo Ball was held on October 19th at the Pavilion at John Knox Village. This year was the 10th annual gala, and several original founding volunteer committee members were in attendance. The “1980s rewind” themed-event featured a costume contest, fabulous decor, vintage arcade games, and silent and live auctions. Ashley Boswell and Katie Hammons were the co-chairmen. Proceeds support renovations to the emergency department at the Hospital.
