By the time
The Dweebs wrapped up their three-song encore at Grinnell Regional Medical Center’s
Blue Jean Ball, a total of $35, 238 had been raised toward the emergency
department renovation project! Denim, dancing, food, and fun were enjoyed by 225 guests and volunteers
during the third GRMC Blue Jean Ball, held this year at the Harris Center,
Grinnell College, on Saturday, Oct. 17.
Seven live
auction items and 65 silent auction items, all contributed by generous donors, were
transferred into the possession of new owners via many munificent bids. The
GRMC Auxiliary hosted a Wine Pull at the Blue Jean Ball that raised $2,020
toward the auxiliary’s pledge to the Chemotherapy and Infusion Suite.
One of the
many highlights of the evening was the recognition of four individuals chosen
to serve as honorary chairs of the GRMC Moving
at the Speed of Life campaign. Campaign co-chairs Nicholas Kuiper, MD, Dan
Agnew, and Debby Pohlson, recognized Jewel Kintzinger Day, the late Marion
Jones, Leila Maring, and Waldo Walker for their years of service and dedication
to GRMC.
A rousing
THANK YOU goes out to all who donated, in any capacity, to this year’s Blue
Jean Ball! You are valued and appreciated. GRMC will continue efforts to raise
funds so construction on the emergency department can begin.
