Seventh Annual Black-Tie Gala
Health and healthcare are concerns for all of us. The mission of the St. Mary’s Medical Center Foundation is to improve the health of our community. Our annual Black-Tie Gala allows us to support this mission in significant ways. In that spirit, we are excited to announce our 7th Annual Black Tie Gala!
We want to share the details with you and ask you for your assistance in making yet another Gala an event that will provide comfort and hope to those in need.

Through the support of our generous sponsors, St. Mary’s Medical Center Foundation has contributed nearly $600,000 to projects in our community from this event alone. This year, the proceeds will be split between two worthy causes related to the health of our children.
Healthy HEART U will be a dedicated center on the campus of St. Mary’s to address the issue of childhood obesity. The benefit of this center will be a healthier and improved quality of life for hundreds of children facing an early onset of cardiovascular disease each year. We will also help the new St. Mary’s Medical Center Pediatrics Unit be a more family friendly and comforting place for seriously ill children. You can help us with both of these worthy causes by becoming a sponsor or by donating in-kind services, products, or cash.
St. Mary’s has established many friendships throughout its 85-year history of service to our community. We thank you for your friendship and for joining us in our mission. We believe our children are the future of Huntington. I am sure you will agree their health and wellbeing are of utmost importance.
