JENNINGS COUNTY — The 28th Annual Our Hospice Jennings County Gala raised more than $65,000 to support patients and their loved ones throughout Jennings County.
Over 250 community members gathered together at the fundraising gala to help support care close to home.
A major part of the gala comes when crowning the Jennings County Gala King and Queen — rewarding the young people who helped raise the most money for the event. Lillian Curry was crowned Gala Queen after raising $14,500 and Jake Birge took home the Gala King title after raising $3,700 for Our Hospice. Emma Clapp, Katherine Bruner and Hailey Whitehead fill out the rest of the Gala Court with over $33,000 raised between everyone.
All proceeds from the gala go towards offsetting the cost of care in the community, including aid for ongoing pediatric needs in Jennings County.
