As the Royal Wedding approaches for Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29, 2011 in London England, a royal event will be held across the pond on the same day in Buffalo, New York. Each spring Sisters Hospital Foundation hosts the Black & White Ball, a black-tie signature event to benefit Sisters Hospital – Catholic Health’s Sisters Hospital Foundation’s Annual Spring Gala.
Over 400 corporate and community leaders, physicians and friends will attend this sell-out event at the Hyatt Regency Buffalo at 2 Fountain Plaza. Cocktails will kick off the evening at 6:00pm, with dinner and a live auction from 7:30 – 9:30pm. Cash Cunningham will serve as the auctioneer and Marissa Bailey from WGRZ-Channel 2 will serve as the Mistress of Ceremonies. Music and dancing will follow with “Party of Nine”.
This year’s Black & White-themed evening will include white-gloved service, fabulous cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, a gourmet five-course meal, and show-stopping entertainment and dancing. The evening also includes beautiful theme baskets, wonderful silent auction and a spectacular live auction featuring exciting and unique items with a nod to the Royal Wedding.
