The 31st Annual Evening of Wine & Roses headed to Vegas as the theme of October fundraiser benefitting Dignity Health – Glendale Memorial Hospital and hosted by the Glendale Memorial Health Foundation.

Guests enjoyed a night of classic Vegas – back when the “Rat Pack” ruled the strip – at the Universal Hilton. The evening included fun, food, a few gaming tables and music from the likes of Frank, Sammy and Deano.

Glendale Memorial Health Foundation strives to assist the healing mission of Dignity Health – Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center. To support this mission, the 31st Annual Evening of Wine & Roses raised funds for the “Humankindness In The Making” (HITM) initiative.

HITM will renovate the second floor of the hospital into a new service center for our Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine and Gastroenterology (GI) Lab. This remodeled space will transform the patient experience with new, state-of-the-art GI facilities, and an additional hyperbaric chamber.

HITM is a three-year/$5 million initiative. The Foundation has already secured over $4.2 million in cash and pledges.
