Charity Gala 2025

Recap

AIHFS' 4th ANNUAL CHARITY GALA

By Crystal LeCoy

On October 3rd, 2025, American Indian Health and Family Services hosted its 4th Annual Charity Gala, bringing together just over 120 supporters for an inspiring evening of community, culture, and celebration. Thanks to the generosity of our attendees and donors, we raised over $88,000 to support our new Health and Wellness Campus, advancing our mission to provide comprehensive care and wellness programs to the community.

The evening featured a powerful panel discussion exploring the importance of culturally grounded healthcare, highlighting community voices and the shared vision behind our new campus. Guests were invited to reflect on how traditional values and collective action continue to shape our path forward.

The gala also included a lively silent auction with nearly 90 donated items, including original artworks, handcrafted jewelry, and an array of gift baskets and unique experiences. We are deeply grateful to all of our supporters who contributed to this remarkable event, helping us make a meaningful impact.
