“The Ball raises awareness of Elwyn,” Elwyn Development Coordinator, Natalie Busillo, said. “It’s our (Elwyn’s) largest fundraising event of the year and it supports the top-quality care that we provide at Elwyn.”
Following the Ball, guests head over to the Red and Clover Room for the Elwyn Bounce. The event, now in its third year, is a club-like, gala after-party. Organized by Elwyn’s Young Professionals Bounce Committee, this year’s Bounce features two top-shelf bars, hors d’oeuvres and live music by Lost in Paris.
