DINNER AND AUCTION 6:30 PM
BLACK TIE OPTIONAL

Join us for the Hope & Healing Celebration, Worcester’s premier fundraising gala to support the lifesaving work of UMass Memorial Health.  The 2023 Fund-a-Need beneficiary is the Children’s Medical Center, the only full-service pediatric hospital in Central Massachusetts, committed to providing children and families access to the care they need close to home. 

We serve over 68,000 children every year with more than 200 medical and surgical pediatric experts in over 30 specialties.  Your vital generosity is a true lifeline in so many powerful ways. It helps us provide innovative technology and equipment for our pediatric emergency, surgical and intensive care units. It supports our Child Life Specialists, animal-assisted and music therapy programs, initiatives that help children manage pain and emotional stress. It also continues to strengthen programs that identify gaps in resources addressing the non-medical factors that affect health. From access to nutritionists and healthy food, asthma treatment in the community, and health care evaluations for children in foster care, your support will help children and families have a healthier future.
