Celebrating our community partners and leaders
An Extraordinary year of Impact
This year was one of the most successful yet for community fundraising. Our signature events — Ladies Play Day, the Classic Golf Tournament, and The Gift of Health Gala – Emerald Ball — brought together passionate supporters committed to advancing care close to home. Thanks to the generosity of participants, sponsors, and donors, these events exceeded expectations and delivered extraordinary impact. We are especially grateful to our Community Partners and Little Leaders, whose support raised $420,000 for vital hospital equipment and technology. From local businesses and organizations to young philanthropists, their generosity helps ensure patients and families continue to receive high-quality care in our community. With such incredible support, we look forward to another exciting year of events in 2026.
