Tickets are on sale for the 2024 Emerald Ball to benefit Sacred Heart NICU

Tickets are now on sale for the Sacred Heart Foundation’s 2024 Emerald Ball benefiting Sacred Heart Emerald Coast. The event set for April 6 at 6 p.m. will be at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Resort Golf and Spa and is presented by Howard Group, Grand Boulevard, and Silver Sands Premium Outlets.  Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Sacred Heart Emerald Coast. With more than 1,200 babies born prematurely in Walton and Okaloosa counties in the past three years, families depend on access to critical services close to home at the nationally-recognized Family Birth Place. As the home of the only neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) serving Walton and Okaloosa County families, Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast continues to make significant investments by adding five new neonatal specialists to provide 24/7 coverage for sick and well newborns. The hospital also established a team to care for premature infants born 10 weeks pre-term and weighing slightly under three pounds. 

Live musical entertainment will be provided by the band Mr. Big and the Rhythm Sisters. Attendees can also enjoy a Lumi Pod photo booth sponsored by Emerald Coast Hospice Care. Tickets for the event are $150, which includes reserved seating, a curated dinner, and two drink tickets. Guests are encouraged to wear emerald shades for this elegant evening.  

Sponsorship opportunities at all levels are also available. For more information on tickets or sponsorship, contact Lisa Wainwright at lisa.wainwright@ascension.org or by calling 850-278-3702. To learn more about the Emerald Ball, visit sacredheartemeraldball.com.
