On January 18 the Women’s Board of Barrow Neurological Foundation will present the annual Barrow Grand Ball at the Arizona Biltmore. The black-tie event, hailed as one of Arizona’s premiere fundraisers, will benefit innovative patient care, research and medical education at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center.

Each year, the Women’s Board selects a special project to support with funds raised through the Ball. The 2014 project is the Barrow Brain Tumor Research Center (BBTRC), which is dedicated to discovering the causes of and cures for brain tumors. The BBTRC places a heavy emphasis on clinical trials and has a goal of offering an experimental therapy option to every Barrow patient diagnosed with a brain tumor. Barrow sees among the highest volume of brain tumor patients in the nation.

The 2014 Barrow Grand Ball co-chairmen are Kathleen Lang and Robyn Lee, and the Ball advisor is Mary Ellen McKee. The current Women’s Board chairman is Shän Francis.
