About the Gala
Each year, corporate and individual sponsors join the Lima Memorial Foundation in presenting the Journey Gala. Hundreds unite together for an energizing experience, which includes networking, dinner, silent & live auctions and more. All donations and funds raised from the 2022 Journey Repackaged gala will support Lima Memorial Health System’s current funding priority, the creation of a Chronic Disease Management Program.
2021 | A Critical Journey
Lima Memorial Foundation's 2021 Journey was a critical one. Patients who are in a fight for their lives need your support. As an established leader in providing advanced care in the region, Lima Memorial cares for the sickest of patients, many of who require inpatient renal dialysis as part of their lifesaving treatment. With your help, we met this critical need and continued Lima Memorial’s commitment to providing the most advanced care for our patients locally.
2020 | A Journey Like No Other
The Lima Memorial Foundation Journey gala has become a premiere event for our region. And while COVID-19 impacted our ability to unite together for an event, it did not impacted our ability to unite together for a cause. A Journey Like No Other, took on the top cancers impacting our region – lung, breast, prostate and colorectal cancer. Unite and celebrate our community and the lives saved through our collective involvement and acts of generosity.
2019 | Journey in Motion
A flurry of motion transcended upon FlexArm as more than 800 friends of our Foundation came together at Journey in Motion to fulfill an important community need – to bring the most advanced inpatient rehabilitation to our region. Thank you to the many individuals and businesses who made a motion to help our patients regain their motion.
2018 | Journey to the Red Carpet
More than 800 friends of the Lima Memorial Foundation walked the red carpet at our 17th annual Journey gala. An astounding $780,000 of the $2.5 million project was raised to support the transformation of inpatient rehabilitation for our region.
2017 | Journey for the Heart
A Masterpiece has come to life! More than 700 friends of the Lima Memorial Foundation went on a creative Journey for the Heart at Warehouse Associates LP. Guests enjoyed an evening full of artistic delights, including observing live artists and savoring a unique blend of food and drink while networking with friends. Thanks to outstanding participation in the fund-a-need and silent, live and art auctions, more than $700,000 was raised that will be directly invested into our heart program.
