Mall Ball to Benefit Sacred Heart Children's Hospital
The 12th annual Mall Ball at Cordova Mall will be held Saturday, Jan. 27, from 8 a.m. to midnight to benefit sick and injured children at Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. The event is coordinated by the Krewe of Les Petits Enfants (Order of the Small Children) and presented by Wendy’s.
Last year, nearly 3,000 people attended the event and raised more than $115,000 for Children’s Hospital, a hospital dedicated to the care of children for more than 37 years. It is the only pediatric hospital in Northwest Florida and provides a number of pediatric sub-specialists in partnership with Nemours Children’s Clinic.
Cordova Mall will close early that evening to allow the Mardi Gras-style festivities to begin at 8 p.m. Attendees can enjoy live music and sample foods from approximately 25 Pensacola restaurants. Entertainment will be provided by Accent, David Suhor’s CityMix Jazz Quartet, Reunion Band and Touch of Gray. A silent auction also will be part of the fun, including vacation packages, jewelry, art, golf outings and much more.
You must be 21 or older to attend. A limited number of tickets are available this year. Tickets can be purchased in advance of the event for $40 per person at Guest Services at Cordova Mall after Dec. 25 or the Sacred Heart Foundation office. Tables of 8 are available for $350 if purchased by Jan. 8; $400 after Jan. 8. Tickets can be charged by phone by calling 416-4660.
Over the past 11 years, the event has generated close to $1 million in proceeds on behalf of sick and injured children at Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. For more information, call Sacred Heart Foundation, (850) 416-4660.
