Treating heart disease takes the best people, the best equipment and the Blessing Health Heart Gala.  

Since 2018 the Heart Gala has brought together thousands of community members to raise awareness of heart disease and donations for the Heart and Vascular Fund of the Blessing Foundation. Donations fund the important work of improving heart health in the region through provider continuing education, equipment purchases and addressing patient unmet needs. Heart Gala attendees and sponsors have contributed more than $200,000 since the events inception to address these areas of importance. Last year, Blessing Health provided $550,000 in care for heart patients who did not have the means or ability to pay.

The 2025 Heart Gala will be held Saturday, February 8, at the Oakley-Lindsay Center in Quincy. The evening includes dinner and dancing. Red dresses and coats and ties are recommended for the Heart Gala, but not required.

Reservations can be purchased through February 1, 2025, with an early reservation discount available through January 17.  Reservations are available online only. Physical tickets are not issued for the event. Registered guests receive a confirmation email once the purchase process is complete.
