Red Tie Ball Returns

Corewell Health Foundation Southeast Michigan is excited to announce the return of the Red Tie Ball, a fundraising event supporting The Center for Exceptional Families and development of Corewell Health Dearborn Hospital’s pediatric services. The event will take place on Friday, Oct. 4, 6 p. m., at The Henry in Dearborn.

“The Red Tie Ball was a long-standing fundraising event for children’s programs in Dearborn,” said Ryan Daly, president, Corewell Health Foundation Southeast Michigan. “The need for support of the children in our community never changed. However, we altered the format to a virtual setting in recent years and are looking forward to once again bringing the community together in a festive environment to support our youngest patients and celebrate the legacy of more than 70 years of service by our Dearborn hospital.”

The event benefits Corewell Health Children’s Center for Exceptional Families (CEF), a comprehensive and innovative medical and rehabilitative facility for children with special needs such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, intellectual disabilities, genetic syndromes or for children who are on the autism spectrum. The event also will benefit the development of pediatric programs and services at Corewell Health Dearborn Hospital to meet the growing pediatric needs of the community.

Since 1953, Corewell Health Dearborn Hospital has been serving the health care needs of the Dearborn community. Having a dedicated team of physicians, clinicians, nurses, and support personnel has always been a mainstay of the facility. It is through the ongoing backing of the community that programs and services offered through the hospital continue to evolve and solutions are found to care for the medical needs of the residents.

All are invited to attend the benefit evening celebration that will include cocktails, dinner, and dancing to the Ben Sharkey Band and is generously presented by Karen and Partick Smithbauer, Drs. Harris, Birkhill, Wang Songe and Assoc., P.C., and the Toni A. Wisne Foundation.
