Who we're supporting
All proceeds from the Fall Ball go directly toward the care of the residents of Villa St. Francis. More than 80 % of residents at Villa St. Francis utilize Medicaid and we are Kansas' largest provider of care for seniors on Medicaid. Your generosity enables us to care for those who would not otherwise be able to afford it.
