Candlelight Ball
On Dec. 5, Scripps Hospital held its 86th annual Candlelight Ball with 440 guests at the Fairmont Del Mar. The event raised $1.8 million toward the Barbey Family Emergency and Trauma Center under construction at Scripps La Jolla. Funds from the Candlelight Ball go toward the project’s $15 million goal to double the size of the facility’s existing emergency and trauma center, which treats more than 30,000 patients each year. The expansion is expected to reach completion in the fall.
