Join Us for the 2025 Spring Soiree

We're excited to announce the Spring Soiree, hosted by Pardee Hospital Foundation, Friday, April 11th, 2025

Following last year’s successful Summer Soiree, this year brings a meaningful new theme:

As one of the community’s most anticipated signature events, this year’s Soiree promises to be exceptional. Guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner, live entertainment, and a silent auction, ensuring an uplifting night to remember. The evening will also include special recognition of the Philanthropist and Physician of the Year as we celebrate the community’s resilience and support for UNC Health Pardee. Most importantly, your participation will help meet critical needs at the hospital in the coming months. Your support makes this vital work possible.

As our community continues to recover from the impact of Tropical Storm Helene, we have seen extraordinary resilience from both our dedicated Pardee team and our neighbors across the region. Our healthcare family has been steadfast, providing compassionate care and unwavering support to one another and the community at large.

This year’s theme is expressed through a thoughtful color palette chosen to reflect the journey of resilience and healing:

Emerald Green – symbolizes growth, renewal, and resilience as our community rises stronger than before.
Gold represents triumph, success, and the accomplishments we celebrate together.
Soft Lavender – evoking calm, healing, and the sense of new beginnings we look forward to with hope.
