The 33rd Annual Paul Ecke Jr. Poinsettia Ball brings the sparkle of the season

The 33rd Annual Paul Ecke Jr. Poinsettia Ball, themed “Tinsel & Tartan,” brought together the sparkle of the season and the warmth of Scottish charm. The evening began with a lively cocktail hour and exciting silent auction followed by a sit-down gourmet dinner catered by Behind The Scenes. The night’s impactful program, hosted by Clint Bell, offered guests unique opportunities to support local youth. The venue was decked out with an abundance of poinsettias, adding to the festive atmosphere.

The night ended on a high note with dancing to the sounds of Kicks Band. Proceeds from Poinsettia Ball supported the YMCA’s mission of providing quality, character-building programs for all, regardless of their ability to pay. Co-chairs were Sheila Wirick and Eugenia Welch.
