On April 26, the Bozeman Health Foundation will host its 25th annual hospitality fundraising gala with an “Enchanted Garden” theme to match the spring season as guests are encouraged to dress in “garden glamour.”
The event will raise funds for Bozeman Health Psychiatric Services, soon to be home of the region’s first adult inpatient psychiatric unit, according to a press release from the foundation. The facility, including 14 beds and projected to serve 500 annual patients with “safe, compassionate and enriching therapeutic services,” will cost roughly $12 million and is expected to be completed in late 2025. The event will be held at Montana State University’s SUB ballroom starting at 6 p.m., with tickets available online.
“The Hospitality Gala is much more than a fundraiser—it’s an opportunity to be part of a transformative moment for our community,” Claire Hodges, Bozeman Health Foundation’s manager of annual giving and events, stated in the release. “This event has long inspired and empowered our mission, creating meaningful impact toward improving access to high-quality and compassionate health care, close to home.”
Hodges also emphasized the importance of community support as health care providers like Bozeman Health continue to expand services.
“With our community’s collective and collaborative efforts, we are building a more resilient continuum of care for southwest Montana so those in need can live meaningful lives while being supported in their home community,” stated Nicole Madden, the system’s director of psychiatric services.
The event will feature a performance by the Montana Ballet Company during a served dinner, an “inspirational” program, live and silent auctions, and other surprise elements, according to the release.
