Save the Date To Prairie Lakes Healthcare Foundation “Dial In On Dialysis” At BASH 2023
Prairie Lakes Healthcare Foundation is excited to announce BASH (Building A Superior Healthcare System) 2023 will be held Saturday March 25, at the Watertown Event Center. BASH is an annual fundraising gala hosted by the Prairie Lakes Healthcare Foundation, with much support from donors and volunteers.
BASH 2023 will have a whimsical golden theme, encouraging guests to “dial in on dialysis.” Proceeds from the event will be used to purchase new kidney dialysis machines (artificial kidneys) for Watertown Kidney Dialysis at the Prairie Lakes Healthcare System.
Dialysis is a treatment for people whose kidneys are failing and don’t filter blood the way they should. As a result, wastes and toxins build up in the bloodstream. Dialysis does the work of the kidneys, removing waste products and excess fluid from the blood. One type of dialysis is hemodialysis, where a machine removes blood from your body, filters it through a dialyzer (artificial kidney), and returns cleaned blood to your body. This 3–4-hour process takes place at Prairie Lakes Healthcare System, three times a week.
All proceeds raised during BASH 2023 will be used to purchase these lifesaving kidney dialysis machines!
BASH 2023 kicks off at 5:30 pm with a social hour with signature drinks, a wine bar and silent auction bidding with packages made by Prairie Lakes employees. The evening continues with a gourmet dinner, a live auction, and entertainment featuring the MVP Smash band from Minneapolis, MN. MVP Smash is a high energy, 7-piece dance band with skilled musicians and gifted vocalists who are tuned up and ready to hit the stage to fill our dance floor!
Reservations are required for BASH and may be made online at www.prairielakes.com/bash or by calling the foundation office at 605-882-7631.
