Thanks to the incredible support of you and each of our attendees, the evening raised more than $147,592 in total.

This includes $14,100 from the live auction, $114,892 from the Fund-the-Need segment, $17,550 from event registrations, and $1,050 in raffle tickets sold.

These funds will directly benefit the Fragile Beginnings Initiative, which enhances services for Dominican Hospital's Level III NICU, providing crucial support for vulnerable newborns, their families, and the dedicated NICU staff. The initiative also supports our caregivers and Stanford-affiliated neonatologists, ensuring that those on the front lines of care have the resources they need to deliver exceptional support to our community’s most fragile patients.

Special Appreciation

We are deeply grateful to all who made this event possible—our attendees, sponsors, and volunteers. Your generosity helps strengthen our commitment to providing life-saving care for those who need it most. Check out our electronic Gala program book, showcasing the many local businesses and organizations that contributed between $2,500 and $30,000 annually to support Dominican Hospital.

Thank you for making a meaningful difference in the lives of so many in our community.
