Hanover and District Hospital Foundation Ladies Night raises nearly $30k

The recent Hanover and District Hospital Foundation Ladies Night raised almost $30,000 for a key hospital project.

Held on April 16, the night saw 210 attendees and featured 27 vendors, all proudly women-owned businesses.

The event had a number of guest speakers, a fashion show featuring local businesses, and a very successful raffle and silent auction.

In total, the event raised $28,718 in support of the Foundation’s Fluoroscopy Campaign, helping to enhance diagnostic imaging services at Hanover and District Hospital.

The Foundation extends its heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make the night such a success, including attendees, vendors, volunteers, and speakers.

"We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support from our community," said Madison Bryan, HDHF Executive Director. "This event was a true celebration of women supporting women, and the impact will be felt by patients and families throughout our region."
