Step out for Boots & Bling 2025 to support healthier communities!
This year's event benefits Mercy Health Foundation Irvine's campaign to develop a Heart Failure Program
Mercy Health Foundation Irvine invites you to our annual fundraiser! Formerly known as our Paradise Luau, it's rebranded to Boots & Bling! The celebration is set for Saturday, August 16, 2025, at the Kentucky Steam Heritage in Irvine, KY. This year's theme is “Stepping Out for Healthier Communities,” and we hope you’ll join us in your favorite boots and sparkly outfits. Please see below for more information.
You can expect lots of:
- Live music
- Delicious food
- Silent auction
- Fun games with the chance to win prizes!
It's a night to have fun—and make a difference. Every year, Mercy Health Foundation Irvine supporters help people in our community stay healthy. Proceeds from past events helped buy important equipment, support services and establish programs.
This year, we’re focusing on helping people with heart failure. Heart failure happens when the heart can't pump blood as well as it should. It affects many people in our community and can make everyday activities hard. The Foundation's goal is to create a special program that helps these patients live better lives.
The funds raised at Boots & Bling will go toward:
- Medical assistance
- Transportation assistance
- Equipment to allow for resource conservation
- Home Compliance Kits (Tools like scales, blood pressure cuffs and pill boxes so patients can take care of themselves at home).
When you support Boots & Bling, you help people with heart failure stay out of the hospital and feel better every day.

There are many different ways to get involved and show your support. For example, consider becoming a sponsor or contributing items toward the silent auction.
