The Hamilton Memorial Hospital Foundation has announced its 24th Annual Gala Dinner, scheduled for Saturday, November 22, 2025. The event will be held at the Jerry Sloan Gymnasium at Hamilton County Senior High School in McLeansboro, Illinois.
Proceeds from this year’s gala are set to support the purchase of upgraded diagnostic imaging equipment for Hamilton Memorial Hospital. According to the Foundation, these improvements are intended to help maintain high-quality healthcare services within the local community.
Attendees can expect an evening that includes dinner and a silent auction. Seating and the auction will begin at 5:00 p.m., followed by dinner at 6:00 p.m.
Justin Epperson, CEO of Hamilton Memorial Hospital District, said, “Our community’s unwavering support of the Foundation year after year is truly humbling. We are deeply grateful for the generosity shown through events like the Gala, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to honoring that support by providing excellent care right here at home.”
In an effort to streamline check-in procedures this year, no physical tickets will be distributed. Instead, guest names will be recorded on a list at the entrance.
Those seeking more information about sponsorships or tickets are encouraged to contact Lindsay Hansen by phone or email.
