Free Clinic ball ticket’s set for October sale

Tickets to the Free Clinic of Southwest Washington’s 2019 holiday ball will go on sale Oct. 1. The holiday ball will be held on from 5:30 to 11 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Heathman Lodge, 7801 N.E. Greenwood Drive, Vancouver.

The annual fundraising event raises money for medical care, medicine, supplies, lab testing and medical equipment for low-income, uninsured and underinsured people, according to a Free Clinic press release.

The evening includes a wine/champagne reception, a sit-down dinner and dancing.

Tickets are $135 per person and will be available for purchase online Oct. 1 at freeclinics.org or by calling 360-313-1388.

“We are really looking forward to this holiday ball because it is also serving as the official kickoff event for the Free Clinic’s 30th anniversary year,” said Pam Knepper, Free Clinic communications and development manager.

“It will be a year of celebrating and remembering the impact the Free Clinic has and continues to have in our local community. While we have consistently evolved in our efforts to ensure that every member of our community has access to health care, the Free Clinic’s vision of always providing compassionate care has remained the same.”
