HopeHealth Anniversary Gala

Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and supported our 50th Anniversary Gala. Because of your generosity,
together we raised more than $430,000 to support compassionate care for our patients and families. 

The paddle raise was especially inspiring. With an ambitious goal of $50,000, supporters stepped forward to contribute more than $80,000, including additional gifts received after the event. This extraordinary outpouring of generosity will help ensure patients and their loved ones receive the care, comfort, and support they need.

We are deeply grateful to our community for making this milestone celebration so meaningful - and we're excited to continue the momentum with our
Gift of Hope 50th Anniversary campaign.

Here's to the next 50 years of hope, dignity, and care.

Thank you to Our Sponsors!
