NORTH VERNON, Ind. – For the second year in a row, the Our Hospice Jennings County Gala was held virtually due to COVID. The 2022 Gala, “Lights, Camera, Royalty” successfully netted over $39,000 on February 5.
This year’s three Jennings County High School Gala Queen contestants competed to become Gala Queen. Queen contestants Macy Addis, Emily Lane, and Jena Morgan, raised $9,370 to bring support and care to the patients and families served by Jennings County Our Hospice.
In the highlight of the event, Jena Morgan was crowned Queen. She accepted her crown from 2021 Gala Queen, Kylee Boardman. Emily Lane was named first runner-up.
Our Hospice President Laura Leonard said, “We are grateful to our three Queen contestants as they had a challenging year in which to raise funds, but this community and these talented young ladies stepped up and have been a big help to us during a very difficult time.”
