THE BALL
The Health Policy Ball was initiated by David Winston in 1985 as a social gathering among friends and colleagues in the healthcare field at the beginning of each new year. In his memory, the Ball has become the principal annual fundraising event for the Fellowship established in his name.
Today the Ball is the primary fundraiser to support the Winston Health Policy Fellowship and the Winston Health Policy Scholarship Programs. The Ball is held each year on the first Saturday in February at the Ritz Carlton Tysons Corner. Organizations are invited to sponsor tables in October of the preceeding year. If you are interested in table sponsorship please email winston@aupha.org.
The Ball is sponsored by approximately 95 organizations that each buy one or two tables of ten for the event. Sponsors then have the option of returning seats to the Fellowship if they wist to host randomly-assigned government officials.
Please see the Ball Policies and Procedures for more information.
This video was prepared for the 25th Annual Winston Fellowship Health Policy Ball. It provides background on David Winston and the founding of the Fellowship as well as a glimpse into the experiences of current and past Fellows.
