CRESTVIEW— Covenant Hospice seeks volunteers to help plan the 10th Annual Blue Jean Ball, scheduled for October 2016.
Proceeds from the event, which includes dinner and dancing, help fund the nonprofit organization's bereavement and spiritual support services, children’s support programs and charity care.
The organization — which accepts patients with life-limiting illnesses, regardless of ability to pay — provided more than $1.7 million in care for uninsured or under-insured patients facing a terminal illness, according to a spokesperson.
Volunteers can call 682-3628 for more information.
The 9th Annual Blue Jean Ball, held Oct. 3 at the Crestview Community Center, raised more than $44,500 to support patients and families in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
Some 200 Blue Jean Ball attendees enjoyed a "The Great Gatsby"-themed night of dinner, libations, swanky entertainment and casino games combined with a silent auction, diamond jewelry drawing and local celebrity dance competition.
Dancers raised more than $5,600 for the event, with the help of the Fred Astaire Dance Company of Crestview.
