An Elegant Evening. 

Unforgettable Experiences. 

The Evening of Hope Gala will raise valuable funds to enhance the healing environment for many of our community’s most critically ill and injured patients at UMC and UMC Children’s Hospital. This innovative “blue tie” event will allow Southern Nevada leaders, philanthropists and neighbors to come together in support of UMC’s mission to build a healthier future for our community and celebrate UMC’s 90-year history of life-saving care in Southern Nevada.

Highlighting the world-class, groundbreaking care UMC provides for our community, the event will offer hands-on interactive experiences with UMC’s advanced robotic clinical technology, including the cutting-edge da Vinci Xi surgical system. Designed as an elegant “Evening Under the Stars,” this high-profile gala will also feature former UMC patients who are alive today as a result of the life-saving care they received at UMC and UMC Children’s Hospital.
