Fundraising Events/Opportunities

Sponsors and donors are invited to take part in the area’s premiere fundraising gala—the UMass Memorial Health Winter Ball. The 13th annual event which will be held on December 3, 2021, celebrates our community, and supports the life-saving mission of our organization.

In addition to sponsorship, attendance, and auction participation, the community can help by making outright gifts to support each year’s Fund-A-Need. For 2021, the Fund-A-Need focus is on mental and behavioral health services for children and adolescents; the need for which has dramatically increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic with young people suffering from depression and anxiety. Trauma faced at this developmental stage may have long-term consequences if not addressed with early interventions provided at UMass Memorial Health’s Children’s Medical Center and Community Healthlink.

Post-pandemic

We have a commitment to doing what’s best for our patients and our community. That isn’t new, yet our brand name has been revised to better reflect who we are as a system and what we stand for. Our new brand name of UMass Memorial Health is rooted in our philosophy to not just care for the patients who are sick who come to our hospital and outpatient locations, but to care for the overall health and well-being of everyone, with the goal of keeping people healthy and improving all aspects of life, relentlessly.

We have re-dedicated our organization to addressing health disparities in our region and we are directly addressing the impact of the pandemic and associated economic crisis on communities of color. 

MISSION STATEMENT

To improve the health of the people of our diverse communities of Central New England through culturally sensitive excellence in clinical care, service, teaching and research.
