CommUNITY Fundraiser: Hope in Bloom Ball

The Reese Ward Foundation is thrilled to host its 2nd annual gala, the Hope in Bloom Ball—an evening created to enchant, inspire, and elevate. Hosted at the prestigious Prestonwood Country Club, known for its timeless elegance and breathtaking atmosphere, this year’s celebration promises an unforgettable experience in the perfect setting.

For 2026, we are honored to raise funds for two incredible partners: the American Cancer Society and the Melanoma Research Foundation.

Our theme, “Elevated Floral & Gardens,” will transform the space into a lush world of blooming beauty, complete with garden‑inspired cocktails, immersive floral décor, and a vibrant ambiance ideal for elevated dancing, entertainment, and memorable moments.

Last year, we welcomed 300 guests who helped us raise $418,000, with a portion of the proceeds directly supporting the MRF. We’re excited to continue that impact this year!
