LUBBOCK – The City Lights 2005 Charity Ball, an event benefiting three Lubbock children’s charities, will take place at 8 p.m. April 15 at the Lubbock Club.
The annual black-tie event, hosted by the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine’s Class of 2008 and the Texas Tech Student Chapter of the Texas Medical Association, will benefit Children’s Connections Inc., The Children’s Home of Lubbock and the Texas Boys Ranch.
The charity ball will feature live music by local band Masterpeace, as well as a silent auction. Tickets, which must be purchased by April 7, cost $100 per person, $150 per couple and $60 for residents. Medical students may purchase tickets at a discounted rate of $45 until March 1; tickets will be full price thereafter.
A platinum donation of $5,000 includes four tickets and a two-page program ad. Gold donations of $2,500 include two tickets and a two-page program ad. Silver donations of $1,000 include two tickets and a half-page program ad, and bronze donations of $500 include name and logo recognition in the program.
“Last year, the charity ball raised about $30,000,” said Brian Thurston, medical student and event organizer. “This year, by adding a golf tournament, we’re hoping to raise at least $45,000 for the three charities.”
A new feature this year, the Play A-Round for the Kids Charity Golf Scramble, will take place at 1:30 p.m. April 8 at the Jerry S. Rawls Championship Golf Course. Tickets cost $150 for individual entry, $500 for four-member team entry or $1,000 for team entry and exclusive sponsorship of a tee box. All participants will be provided lunch and an event polo shirt. All entries must be received by March 31.
