Providence, RI – On Saturday, March 5, the Rhode Island Convention Center will come alive during a unique evening benefitting Hasbro Children’s Hospital when the hospital hosts the 2016 Nerf Ball. Members of the community are invited to join Hasbro Children’s Hospital leadership and physicians to raise funds for the area’s leading pediatric hospital. Tickets are currently on sale.

Serving as the largest annual fundraiser for Hasbro Children’s Hospital, the black tie event begins at 6:00 p.m. with a cocktails and Hors d’oeuvres reception.
