Guests of the Brain Ball will be enchanted with a sparkling ice castle, silent auction, dinner and presentation of the Mary Varga award and a posthumous award in honor of WHAS11 reporter, Chuck Olmstead
Chairing the Ball this year are Michael and Katie Kitchen.
The Mary Varga award will be presented this year to Cynthia Masters of DBS Interactive. The Mary Varga award is presented each year to a brain injury survivor who exemplifies perseverance and courage. The award was created in 2003 to recognize Mary Varga for her valiant effort to overcome the obstacles of a brain injury she sustained in an automobile injury.
For the first time, the BIAK Community Service Award will be presented to the Chuck Olmstead family in honor and recognition of Chuck’s unselfish commitment to the local community. Chuck died of a brain aneurysm in the spring. The BIAK Community Service Award will be presented each year at the Brain Ball.
Proceeds of this year’s Brain Ball benefit the Wounded Warrior program for Kentucky military personnel returning from service with brain injuries.
