28th Annual Hospice
Benefit Ball and Auction
Yellow Brick Road

February 27, 2009
Minuteman Aviation Hangar
Missoula, Montana
7 p.m. – 1 a.m.

The proceeds of the 28th Annual Hospice Ball benefit the Hospice Care Foundation.

The Foundation recently updated their mission statement which reflects the future direction the Foundation Board has chosen to take. The mission of the Hospice Care Foundation is to raise funds to build and sustain a community based residential hospice house in Missoula.

Reflecting on the memories of the first Hospice Ball and the tradition it has become is a testament of this community’s generosity.

It is evident from the commitment of those who continually support the Hospice Ball, through donations and attendance that end of life care is of vital importance.
The energy, enthusiasm and countless hours of preparation the Hospice Ball Committee puts forth to bring this amazing event together is yet another display of compassion for end of life care.

There is much to celebrate this evening, yet there is still much yet to do. There are opportunities for your efforts to help get a hospice house built in our community. Please consider us in your annual giving, donation of your time or efforts for future fund raising events or our capital campaign. Please call the Hospice Care Foundation office at 541-2255  for more information.

This year's ball was another great success and we would like to thank all who attended and everyone who helped to make this happen:

Entertainment

The Tom Cats
This four piece band is a Western Montana favorite. These guys will have the place rockin' with their awesome sound and great antics. The Tom Cats play memorable tunes from the Rock and Roll Era and have been pleasing crowds from young to old for several years. The Tom Cats are seasoned rockers, playing in bands such as The Bop-a-Dips, The Talk, Blackjack and Kid Wicked. We have had the honor and pleasure of having these guys play at the Ball for the past four years. The crowd loves them!

ShōDown
From humble beginnings, ShōDown has matured into a band with a diverse play list and a style that is akin to putting a whole bunch of things in the blender, and ending up with something that tastes real good. Their roots reach into bluegrass, western swing, traditional country, contemporary country, 70's and 80's rock and roll, Cajun and folk music. Wow, makes your head kind of spin doesn't it.  But somehow it all works into a sound that is unique and pleasing. Vocals are the heart of their music. We are thrilled to have ShōDown joining us at the Ball tonight.
