HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Foundation has announced that the 2025 Elizabethan Gala will take place on Friday, November 7. The event will be held at the Regency Conference Center in O’Fallon.
The Elizabethan Gala began in 1983 as the “Elizabethan Holiday” luncheon and fashion show, organized by the St. Elizabeth’s Auxiliary. Since becoming a fundraising event in 2012, it has raised nearly $1.8 million to support programs and equipment at HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital.
“As we celebrate our 150th year of HSHS caring for the communities of Southwestern Illinois, we are able to look back at all of the incredible health care programs and services made possible thanks to our community’s generous donations to the hospital’s Foundation throughout the years,” said David Garris, Director of HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Foundation. “We are excited to continue another 150 years of providing high-quality, compassionate care to our community.”
The gala will include a cocktail reception, dinner, a short program, and live entertainment from Howl at the Moon band. The program will also feature recognition of this year’s recipient of the Elizabethan Award.
For those interested in sponsorship opportunities or making reservations for the event, more information is available online.
