What began as a community outreach event for hospital physicians and the community has now evolved into the largest annual fundraising event for the Hospital.  Typically held in early November, the Noble Ball has grown into a sought-out community event for Greater Westfield.  Now entering its’ 46th running, the Noble Ball generates much needed funding for various capital expenses around the Hospital–from new technology at patients’ bedside to renovations in the Emergency Department.

For sponsorship, or additional information on how you can be involved in the next Noble Ball, contact the Community Development office at 413-568-2811, ext. 5573.
