| A Season of Renewal and Celebration Dear Friends,
Spring is finally here, bringing with it the promise of renewal, warmth, and the shedding of winter’s grey. This season is not just about nature’s rebirth—it is also a time to reflect on our collective resilience and the strength of our community.
At Pardee Hospital Foundation, we are embracing this spirit of renewal as we prepare for two of our most anticipated events: the Spring Soiree and the She Slays 5K.
Excitement is building as our dedicated staff, volunteers, and committees work tirelessly to bring the Spring Soiree to life on April 11th at Kenmure Country Club. |

This elegant evening is more than just a celebration—it is a vital fundraiser that directly supports UNC Health Pardee. At the heart of the event is the announcement of the 2025 UNC Health Pardee Physician of the Year, presented by First Citizens Bank, and the Foundation’s Philanthropist of the Year, honoring those who make an extraordinary impact on local healthcare. Tickets are going quickly, and a limited number of sponsorship opportunities remain. We are also actively collecting auction items—if your business would like to contribute, we would love to hear from you!
Give us a call at 828-233-2700.
Following the Soiree, we will turn our focus to the She Slays 5K on April 26, now in its second year. This powerful event unites our community in the fight against cancer, supporting programs that help women access life-saving care while celebrating the strength of cancer survivors. If you have not yet registered, now is the time! The deadline to purchase a commemorative She Slays 5K T-shirt and yard sign tribute is fast approaching—do not miss the chance to honor a loved one while making a difference.
Coming up this week is our complimentary Planned Giving Seminar on Thursday, March 20th. This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from two local experts in estate planning as well as trust and estate (probate) administrations. We have a few seats left. Drop us a quick email to let us know you are coming.
As always, we are deeply grateful for your support. Whether you attend an event, sponsor a program, or simply spread the word about our mission, you are a vital part of the Foundation’s work.
