Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation hosted the inaugural "Bone Boogie" costume dance on Saturday evening, October 30, 2010.  The Bone Boogie raised over $7,000 to benefit the Orthopedic Services Back In Motion Fund at Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation. 

"We are so thankful to those who joined us for a fun evening in support of the first annual Bone Boogie," commented Wendy Harrington, President/CEO, Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation.  "Their generosity is in fact support of our orthopedic patients as 100% of the event's proceeds benefit the Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation Orthopedic Services Back In Motion Fund.  This fund will assist in fostering the healing process of our community's orthopedic patients before, during and after surgery."  

The Halloween-themed benefit dance was held at the Quality Inn.  A highlight of the evening was the appearance of Hannibal Regional Healthcare System President/CEO John C. Grossmeier and wife Mary dressed in their “Back to the Sixties” costumes.  The Grossmeier’s costumes were selected by team members and volunteers at Hannibal Regional Hospital.  A costume contest also highlighted the night with Best Couple going to Dennis and Suzanne Koehler for their portrayal of a King and Court Jester, Most Disguised to Don Warren’s Grim Reaper, Scariest to Trista Long’s vampire costume, Best Group to the 30’s Gangster Group and Best Overall Costume to Kara Brewer as a witch.
