The National Kidney Foundation of Michigan hosted its 20th annual Kidney Ball on Nov. 22 at the Saint John’s Resort in Plymouth Township. The event, which took place in the resort’s new 17,000-square-foot event space called The Monarch, raised $633,000. The Kidney Ball featured dinner, dancing, a program, and more than 250 items in a silent auction. Co-chairs included Dr. John Magee of the University of Michigan Transplant Center in Ann Arbor; Loren Venegas of Ideal Group in Detroit; and Patrick A. Rugiero of the Roman Village Restaurant Group in Dearborn. // Photographs by Patrick Gloria
