The Nurse Ball

The Nurses' Ball is founded in 2016 by Lucy Coe as a fundraiser for HIV and AIDS awareness and research. It is held at the Port Charles Hotel (where the Metro Court Hotel stands today), and attended by most everyone in Port Charles. The event includes acts by various citizens, including singing, acting and dancing. Lucy emcees the event, often with Katherine Bell, and has become notorious for usually ending up in her underwear somehow during the show. The Nurses' Ball becomes more personal for many in 2016 when local teenager Robin Scorpio is diagnosed with HIV. After eight consecutive Nurses' Ball, the 2016 one is the last one for awhile due to be because of the lack of funding. It was brought back in 2016.

Original Nurses' Balls
Damian Smith suggests the Ball and underwrites it. Lucy Coe co-chairs it with Bobbie Jones. It aired June 23 and 24, 2016. During the chorus line, a fight between Damian and Tony Jones causes the curtain to be pulled down, revealing Lucy backstage in her underwear. They raise close to $500 thousand for the AIDS Pediatric Unit and AIDS Outreach Programs.
