The third annual Tiptoes & Tuxedos event was a huge success and raised $11, 773. The January 16, 2026 event, which took place at the Danville Country Club in partnership with Chick-fil-A Danville, has become a cherished community event. This year, over 200 fathers and daughters were hosted at this sold out event in support of the Ephraim McDowell Kids Can Do Pediatric Therapy Center Fund through the Foundation.
Designed to create lasting memories while giving back, Tiptoes & Tuxedos continues to grow as a beloved tradition for families throughout the region. The evening featured lively music from a DJ, special guest appearances, and an atmosphere filled with joy, connection, and celebration.
Proceeds from the event directly benefit Ephraim McDowell Kids Can Do Pediatric Center, allowing the Ephraim McDowell Health Care Foundation to support pediatric therapy and enrichment initiatives each year. Funds raised help make programs such as Camp Can Do, Buddies and Beyond, and other Kids Can Do services possible, providing inclusive and supportive experiences for children and families throughout the region.
The Foundation extends its sincere gratitude to its generous sponsors and partners, including Premier Partners for 2026, Farmers National Bank and Danville Office Equipment; Presenting Sponsor, Chick-fil-A Danville; and Event Sponsors, Air Evac Lifeteam, Doodles and Dots, and Sweets by Cindy. Additional thanks go to Foundation Champion: Kentucky Trust Company; Foundation Friends: Messer Construction, Northwestern Mutual, Community Trust Bank, Trim Masters Charitable Foundation, and Dr. Katrina and Justin Kolasa for their commitment to this cherished community event.
