Dear Friends of the Foundation,

It is with heavy hearts that we have made the difficult decision to postpone our 27th Annual Cordova Mall Ball scheduled for Saturday, January 29, 2022. As cases of COVID-19 once again rise in our community, we have made this decision consistent with our view that the safety of our donors, associates, supporters, volunteers and neighbors must remain our number one priority.

The Mall Ball will be rescheduled for a date yet to be determined. This disheartening development does not overshadow the incredible efforts made by all those on our team, our co-chairs and our committee members who worked to bring this event to you. They, and you, are making possible the purchase of our new “Miracles in Motion” Pediatric Transport vehicle for those children from across the region who are in critical need of treatment at the Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart. We are deeply grateful for your flexibility and resilience.

To our generous sponsors, we cannot thank you enough. Your support allows the Studer Family Children’s Hospital to provide quality, compassionate healthcare to the families who need its unique capabilities.

As we forge ahead and turn our focus to the ongoing health challenges in our community, please know that we will continue to ensure our critical programs reach those who need them most. Your continued support sustains these efforts, and we could not do it without you.

The Mall Ball is the largest fund-raising event held each year to benefit the Studer Family Children’s Hospital at Ascension Sacred Heart. Since its start 27 years ago, the event has raised $6.4 million to support care of sick and injured children at the region’s only pediatric hospital.

Please do not hesitate to contact me directly with any questions or concerns, or our Event Chair, Jennifer Saba, at Jennifer.Saba@ascension.org. Thank you again for your understanding during this difficult time.
Stay safe and well. 

With thanks,

Carol H Carlan
President and Chief Development Officer
