Sponsorships are essential to the success of the Me Fine Gala, helping us create a memorable evening while ensuring that more of the funds raised directly support families with children facing serious medical illness. The generosity of our sponsors helps underwrite event expenses, strengthens our impact, and allows every ticket purchased, auction item won, and donation made to go even further.

2025 Gala Highlights
Courage in Their Own Words
One of the most powerful moments of the evening was hearing from three incredible teens whose families have been supported by Me Fine. Their stories offered an honest and inspiring look at the impact of the programs, reminding everyone in the room why Me Fine’s work matters and how community support helps families navigate some of life’s most challenging moments.
Honoring Heroes
We were proud to recognize Jennifer Dube, RN, and Nicole Queathem, MEd, CCLS, as this year’s Heroes for Life. Their dedication and compassion have made a lasting difference for patients and families across our partner hospitals, and it was an honor to celebrate the incredible care and commitment they bring to their work every day.
