FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[North Vernon, Indiana] December 9, 2025 – Our Hospice of South Central Indiana will host
the 28th Annual Jennings County Gala on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at 6:00 PM at The
Barn at Willow Lake in North Vernon. This year’s theme, “A Night in Italy,” invites guests to
enjoy an evening inspired by the food, warmth, and festive spirit of the Italian countryside.
Tickets are $60 each or $450 for a table of eight, available in advance at ourhospice.org/gala.
The event will include a buffet dinner, wine pull, silent and live auctions, DJ entertainment, and
the crowning of the 2026 Jennings County Gala King and Queen. All proceeds support hospice
care for individuals and loved ones in the Jennings County service area.

Jennings County High School students are currently raising funds as part of the Gala Court, with
the top fundraisers crowned during the event. Queen candidates are Abigail Taylor, Camden
Mays, Emma Clapp, Hailey Whitehead, Heidi Hughes, Katherine Brunner, and Lillian Curry.
King candidates are Cristian Gomez and Jake Birge. Community members can show their
support by sponsoring a Queen or King candidate at ourhospice.org/gala, where each donation
counts as a vote toward determining this year’s Gala King and Queen.

sponsor. All details are available at ourhospice.org/gala.
