Established in 1993, the River Garden Foundation Gala is the major annual fundraising event for River Garden Hebrew Home, held in late Fall. The Gala raises significant funds, supporting exceptional care for all seniors we serve no matter their financial resources. It has helped educate the community about the unique nature of River Garden, its national reputation as a model elder care agency, and the special role it plays in our community.
The Gala continues to be a success thanks to the partnership and support of our individual and corporate sponsors. To date, the Galas have raised more than $5.9 million to benefit the residents of River Garden.
