Indulge your senses and join Washington Hospital Healthcare Foundation for an evening in Italia at the 38th Annual Top Hat Gala, taking place on Saturday, October 12. We welcome you to join us for an evening in Italia with an enchanting garden reception, Italian-inspired cocktails, a delectable multi-course placed dinner influenced by the abundant flavors of Italy, a live auction, after-dinner dancing, a cozy outdoor lounge and much more!
Entertainment will feature the captivating voice of world-renowned Italian tenor, Pasquale Esposito, and Master of Ceremonies, Alex Savidge of KTVU FOX 2.
The Annual Top Hat Gala gathers community members, local business owners, philanthropists and many other partners in support of Washington Hospital and has raised millions of dollars to benefit programs and services. As Washington Hospital continues to grow, and with the opening of the new Level II Trauma Center, the Hospital is in need of its own MRI. The 3 Tesla wide-bore MRI is an ultra-high resolution imaging device that will significantly improve patient outcomes and enable more detailed readings, which can lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses. It will also allow us to offer new procedures locally that patients previously had to leave the community to receive.
We thank you in advance for your consideration and support to help us bring this advanced MRI to Washington Hospital.
