Elyce Arons, co-founder of the iconic fashion brand Kate Spade, will be the special guest at this year’s Bolo Bash, Baptist Health’s signature event supporting behavioral health services across Arkansas.

Arons will join community leaders and supporters at the Bolo Bash Reception on April 21 at the Capital Hotel in downtown Little Rock. The evening event, held from 6 to 8 p.m., kicks off two days of fundraising dedicated to expanding access to behavioral health care statewide.

Proceeds from Bolo Bash benefit Baptist Health Behavioral Health Services, helping provide therapy and medication for uninsured patients, expand telehealth services in rural areas and support suicide prevention education. Funds also assist with inpatient equipment upgrades and transportation for patients who lack safe ways to return home after discharge.

The celebration continues April 22 with the Bolo Bash Luncheon at the Little Rock Marriott. The event begins with a reception and auction at 10:30 a.m., followed by the luncheon program from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Now in its 35th year, Bolo Bash is Baptist Health’s largest “social event with a purpose,” raising critical funds to support patient care and health initiatives across Arkansas. The luncheon is presented by Dillard’s.
