Salve Regina’s 44th Annual Governor’s Ball will be held virtually

In 1977, Salve Regina, along with the assistance of Governor J. Joseph Garrahy, established the Governor’s Ball as a means to introduce outside support for the University and to raise scholarship funds for the students of Salve Regina. This act of goodwill has benefited thousands of students over the years. To date, the ball has raised $9 million and has become the official kick-off to the holiday season in Rhode Island.

For the past 43 years, the Governor’s Ball has proven to be a celebration of joy, generosity, dancing and ice cream. While this year may look different due to the coronavirus pandemic, Salve Regina will still gather in spirit to celebrate the support for Salve Regina students in need.
