The College of Health Profession's Association of Black Health Professionals (ABHP) held their Annual Autumn Gala charity ball on October 7, 2006 at Charleston on the Beach Holiday Inn, Folly Beach, SC. Proceeds from the event went to benefit residents of the Lowcountry Elders Shelter in Charleston, SC.  Featuring heavy Hors D’oeuvres, an open bar and a live band, “A Touch of Class”, the event was well attended. ABHP organizer's and gala attendees are pleased with  the success of this annual event and the fact that they were able to raise money for a worthy cause and have fun at the same time.

ABHP is a student, nonprofit organization committed to charitable giving for Charleston and surrounding communities.  Each year, funds are raised for a designated charity. Through fund raising efforts ABHP members also strive to raise awareness and educate the community on the targeted health disparity.
