The UHS Foundation announced on March 18 that it will host its annual special event in 2026, inviting the community to participate and support its ongoing initiatives. Tickets for the event are priced at $150 per person, with all proceeds directed toward supporting various programs and needs within the organization.

The event aims to raise funds that will benefit a range of projects and services provided by the UHS Foundation. These include recent grants for essential equipment such as a fridge and freezer for the Population Health Food Pantry, glucose monitors and supplies, professional development assistance for the nursing department, a defibrillator for NT3, rocking chairs for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and support to UHS employees facing crisis situations through the Employee Emergency Fund.

By attending this annual gathering, participants contribute directly to these efforts, helping ensure that both patients and staff have access to necessary resources. The foundation highlights that every ticket purchased plays a role in making these grants possible.

The UHS Foundation continues its tradition of hosting events that bring together supporters from across the community while focusing on improving healthcare services and employee well-being. Further details about the date and theme of the event are expected to be released soon.
