About the Ball

This year we will celebrate the 20th annual Teddy Bear Ball with a look back at the history of Duke Children's. The evening will spotlight MIX 101.5 WRAL-FM and Capitol Broadcasting for its 15-year commitment to Duke Children's. MIX 101.5 has hosted the Radiothon for Duke Children's for 15 years raising more than $10 million. We will also honor Dr. Sam Katz and Dr. Michael Frank as past chairs of the Department of Pediatrics as well as our past Teddy Bear Ball chairs.

Evening Schedule for Saturday, December 5, 2009

The Teddy Bear Ball is one of the largest charity black-tie galas in the Triangle. Taking place the first Saturday of December, the event provides sponsors, donors and guests with the opportunity to don their finest apparel and enjoy fine food and company all in the name of helping sick children.

Our 2009 Duke Children's Teddy Bear Ball Quilt
"Storybooks"

This year's Teddy Bear Ball signature quilt is entitled, "Storybooks" and features beautiful quilt squares of favorite storybook characters designed by campers at Camp Kaleidoscope. Each camper also added a handprint signature to the back of the quilt. Their unique designs were artfully quilted together by Mrs. Edna Alston of the African-American Quilt Circle. The Teddy Bear Ball signature quilt is a highlight of the live auction.
