Black Tie and Boots Gala was an Evening to Remember!

The Horse Shoe Farm provided the perfect setting for Pardee Hospital Foundation’s Black Tie & Boots Gala on Saturday, June 15. The gala brought nearly 350 attendees together to celebrate Pardee Hospital’s most recent achievements and recognition of physicians and philanthropists.

Panoramic views of the beautiful Western North Carolina Mountains and a picture perfect evening provided the backdrop for this popular event held each year to raise funds to advance the quality of health care in the region and offer advanced compassionate care in Henderson County and the surrounding region.

Guests enjoyed an upscale Texas style dinner of Pastrami Rubbed Slow Roasted Short Ribs served by Dining Innovations, topped off with a layered Strawberry Short-cake! A silent Auction and raffle for a Ranch Experience trip, along with dancing to the music of Free Flow rounded out the evening.

The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the Physician and Philanthropist of the Year – see related article for complete details! To view photos of the evening click here.
