On Saturday, Nov. 4, the 8th Annual Colors of Hope Gala was held at the Oasis Hotel and Convention Center to raise funds to help the Springfield community in a variety of ways.

Mercy Health Foundation Springfield raised a record $565,000, which will help fund a new mobile mammography bus will be purchased to help in the fight against breast cancer. This mammogram bus travels all over the Ozarks so patients can get mammogram screenings where they’re at and when the need them.

Thank you to all who attended and everyone who donated to help purchase this life-saving resource for our community.
