Open Our Hearts Gala
18th Annual Open Our Hearts Gala
Join MEMO's current annual fundraising gala and help carry medical care, educational access, and outreach into the year ahead.
Event overview
An evening that helps fund what comes next.
We will celebrate our achievements in 2025-2026 and fundraise for our annual medical mission trip to Vietnam in the Summer of 2026. We will also have special performances prepared by our own M.E.M.O. students.
MEMO's gala brings together students, alumni, families, physicians, sponsors, and community supporters to celebrate the mission and help sustain it.
Tickets are required. When purchasing a ticket, please provide the attendee names, dietary restrictions, and seating preferences.
