Charity Ball

Step into the spotlight and join us for a dazzling celebration of hope, healing, and high style at the 76th edition of the Charity Ball, hosted by the Mount Nittany Health Foundation.

This elegant affair is more than a beloved tradition—it’s a night where glamour meets generosity, and where our community unites to shape the future of healthcare in our region.

Join us for a night of bright lights and big impact.

Proceeds from this event will support Mount Nittany Health’s new Patient Tower—a transformational investment in advanced, patient-centered care that will serve our community for generations to come. Over the years, your support has helped fund essential programs such as our Family Medicine Residency, Behavioral Health Services, the Children’s Advocacy Center, and the Paterno Women and Children’s Services Unit. The Charity Ball continues this legacy—elevating care, one meaningful moment at a time.
