Viva Las Vegas: A Golden Night of Glitz and Giving

The Golden Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation will host its annual gala on Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the Benson Center in Clinton, featuring this year’s theme, Viva Las Vegas: A Golden Night of Glitz and Giving.

Inspired by the allure of Las Vegas, the gala will offer an elegant night of celebration, entertainment and purpose in support of the GVMH Foundation.

The evening will feature a cocktail and social hour beginning at 6 p.m., followed by dinner, entertainment and a special surprise unveiling at 7 p.m. Guests are encouraged to wear black-tie or Vegas-glamour inspired attire. 

Proceeds from the event benefit the Golden Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation and support its mission to enhance local healthcare and expand access to essential services.

Please RSVP by February 20, 2026.
