Joyce Prickett (pictured above, left) along with Ashley Engles (right) of Citizens Bank visited with Wes Gwaltney on today’s edition of The Morning Scramble on Arkansas 103.3 KWOZ about the 2022 Red Hot Ladies Luncheon coming to UACCB’s Independence Hall on Friday. Tickets are still available for the big event.
Batesville native Peggy “Pegg” Miller, LCSW, will be the featured speaker for the 2022 edition of the luncheon. Miller (pictured below) has worked in many aspects of social work including working with residents in family medicine, training in cultural competence, counseling military families, and more
The luncheon serves to raise awareness about issues impacting the lives of women and inspire them to make positive changes and commit to a healthy lifestyle. About 300 women are expected to attend the festive affair, which includes a popular silent auction.
Proceeds from the luncheon will benefit New Hope Refuge of Independence County. New Hope Refuge is a faith-based and Christ-centered program for women 19 years of age and older who are struggling with substance abuse issues.
Since its inception as “The Go Red for Women” luncheon in 2006, this series of popular ladies’ events has raised approximately $140,000 for various non-profit organizations that serve the health-related needs of women and their families in Batesville, Independence County, and the surrounding communities. Citizens Bank is the event’s Ruby Sponsor again this year, marking its 16th year of involvement.
The doors will open at 11 a.m. for the silent auction, which features items and services donated by dozens of local businesses.
Reserved sponsorship tables for eight guests for the Red Hot Ladies Luncheon are available for $200. Individual tickets are available for $25 each with open seating.
To reserve tables or obtain other information, call Engles at (870) 698-9650. Luncheon and raffle tickets may also be purchased at the event or in advance at Citizens Bank’s Headquarters Branch.
