Bolivia, N.C., April 28, 2016 – The Novant Health Foundation Brunswick Medical Center’s fifth annual Flip Flop Ball will be held Friday, May 20, at 7 p.m. at Brick Landing Plantation.
Tickets for the Flip Flop Ball are $100 and include island cuisine and dancing. Cocktails will also be available for purchase. This year’s event will feature entertainment by The Imitations. Raffle tickets for a trip to St. Maarten will also be available for purchase. This year’s event benefits the foundation’s Greatest Need Fund.
“The Greatest Need Fund allows us to improve the health of our community outside the walls of the facility,” said June Baker, manager of Novant Health Foundation Brunswick Medical Center. “In 2016, we are looking for ways to improve our outside walking trails for patients, visitors and team members, as well as to improve patient access to the cardiac rehab area. The Flip Flop Ball is unique in that we encourage folks to be comfortable, wear their flip flops and have fun while supporting this wonderful cause.”
The Novant Health Foundation Brunswick Medical Center was formed in 2011 to help carry out the hospital’s not-for-profit mission of improving the health of our community, one person at a time. In 2015, the Foundation raised close to $15,000 at the Flip Flop Ball. These funds were used to help the local community college renovate its nursing simulation lab and to install two electric car charging stations at the medical center.
Since the foundation’s inception, donors have funded an extensive women’s and children’s wellness outreach program to help target childhood obesity in our community, decrease smoking during pregnancy and encourage breast-feeding.
