We’re working hard to make this year’s Gala a fun and memorable night for our entire Mercy community—and we need your help to make Mercy’s biggest fundraiser of the year a smashing success!

There is no cost to attend, but we ask each guest to come ready to support the Mercy Spirit Gala in at least one way: by making a Gala sponsorship or program ad commitment, contributing an item or experience to our Silent Auction, or selecting something to donate from our Silent Auction Wishlist.

Whether it’s a favorite restaurant gift card, tickets to a game or show, a special experience, an item from our Wishlist, or a Gala sponsorship, every contribution helps us build an auction and event our community will be excited to support.

RSVP HERE!
