Tanner Medical Foundation’s annual Magnolia Ball originated in 1991 to benefit Tanner Health System’s non-profit regional healthcare system. Since then, each black-tie ball has had a unique theme and consisted of an elegant catered dinner, live music, dancing, a live and silent auction and more.
The 21st annual Magnolia Ball—“The Bee’s Knees Bash”—will be held on April 30, and promises to be the cat’s pajamas! Learn more about the 2011 Magnolia Ball.

Community generosity
Proceeds from that first Magnolia Ball in 1991 assisted with the purchase of equipment for Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton’s cardiac catheterization lab. Since then, each Magnolia Ball has raised important and much-needed funds that have been used to upgrade or expand many of Tanner’s services and to purchase important high-tech equipment. Learn more about Previous Magnolia Balls.
The 2010 Magnolia Ball raised almost $500,000 to help fund the construction of the new emergency department and surgical services expansion. The proceeds of the 2011 Magnolia Ball will be used to fund this same critical project.
