A Message from The Grand Gala Chairs
Dear Guests,
Welcome to The 2024 Grand Gala benefiting Baptist Health! We are honored to serve as co-chairs for this exciting event, and we are grateful you could join us. Your commitment to Baptist Health Foundation has made a tremendous difference in our ability to provide South Florida with outstanding healthcare, and we are thrilled to have the support of those who are as passionate about the well-being of our community as we are.
The Grand Gala is a celebration of your generosity and the impact it continues to make throughout Baptist Health. From the Florida Keys to Palm Beach County — our entire organization benefits from your participation in this event. The funds we raise through our annual Gala directly support our patients, staff and community, and help make South Florida a stronger, healthier place to live.
We hope you will take the opportunity tonight to engage with fellow donors, who will often share their own reasons for giving, as well as Baptist Health medical professionals and leaders, who will tell you more about our important initiatives and the ways your donations are helping us accomplish them.
Our sincere gratitude goes out to the Foundation board, event committee, auction committee, staff, volunteers and many others who have made this wonderful evening possible. Your remarkable work and commitment have made The Grand Gala a tremendous success, and we can’t thank you enough.
We appreciate the trust that you, our donors and sponsors, have placed in us, and we pledge to always honor that trust. We hope you enjoy the Gala and know how much your support means to all of us at Baptist Health.

Dear Friends,
We are delighted to welcome you to The 2024 Grand Gala benefiting Baptist Health. Our donors, sponsor, volunteers and corporate partners are the heart of Baptist Health Foundation. Your generosity helps us do so much to support our patients and community, and make significant strides in medical research and innovation. As the saying goes, teamwork make the dream work — and thanks to you, we can continue to dream big!
The Grand Gala is a moment to celebrate our accomplishments, but also to look forward to the future. Today we are embarking on an unprecedented new chapter in our history as we pursue our visionary goals. We are truly excited to share with you a major announcement this evening — one that promises to change the trajectory for Baptist Health and secure our place among the nation’s premier healthcare organizations.
And of course, tonight is made even more special with a performance by global music icon and philanthropist, Marc Anthony! We are incredibly grateful to him for his support of The Grand Gala and Baptist Health. I hope to see you on the dance floor as he and his band take the stage and make this a truly unforgettable night.
All of us at Baptist Health Foundation are incredibly grateful for your ongoing generosity. You can take immense pride in knowing that you are providing hope for a healthier future to those who need it most, and improving the quality of life in South Florida.

Baptist Health Foundation Mission
The mission of Baptist Health Foundation is to inspire philanthropy and build extraordinary donor relationships in support of excellence, innovation, community wellness and global leadership in healthcare at Baptist Health.
Through philanthropy, the Foundation supports and expands Baptist Health’s ability to provide outstanding patient care and bring the latest treatments to patients and families affected by a serious illness. Donor contributions also allow the Foundation to assist Baptist Health facilities in keeping pace with technology and equipment advances, perform cutting-edge research and offer continuing education opportunities to clinical staff.
As we expand our vision to deliver world-class healthcare to the communities we serve, philanthropy will continue to power our progress.
YOUR MIAMI HEAT. LIKE YOU’VE NEVER FELT IT BEFORE.
The future belongs to those who build it. And this past summer, we built quite a bit: a slew of technological upgrades that redefine the HEAT experience, including a state-of-the-art scoreboard, theater-style lighting, and enhanced sound system. Because the cutting edge is where we want to be, just like Baptist Health: the Official Healthcare Provider of the Miami HEAT.
