What began as a community-hosted fundraising dinner has blossomed into the premier social event of the Eastern Shore.

Each August, the Grand Summer Ball transforms the Grand Hotel into an enchanting scene—complete with elaborate décor, an unforgettable dinner, and dancing that lasts until midnight. The guest list includes physicians and hospital staff, corporate partners, and passionate philanthropists, all coming together for an evening of elegance and impact.

While it’s a spectacular night to see and be seen, the heart of the evening lies in its mission: supporting the Thomas Hospital Foundation in its work to ensure Thomas Hospital remains a place of exceptional care, staffed by world-class professionals and equipped to serve the community at the highest level.

Save the date for the 37th Grand Summer Ball on August 16, 2025 — Ticket information coming soon — we can’t wait to see you there!
