Join Bozeman Health Foundation for an “Enchanted Garden Gala”
The 25th annual Hospitality Fundraising Gala is in Support of Bozeman Health Psychiatric Services
Bozeman, MT – Bozeman Health Foundation’s annual Hospitality returns on April 26 in full bloom with an “Enchanted Garden Gala” in support of Bozeman Health Psychiatric Services, including the region’s first adult inpatient psychiatric unit.
The highly anticipated annual fundraising event is in its 25th year and will bring together more than 500 community members dressed in garden glamour for an evening unified by community impact.
“The Hospitality Gala is much more than a fundraiser – it’s an opportunity to be part of a transformative moment for our community,” said Claire Hodges, Bozeman Health Foundation’s manager of annual giving and events. “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.”
Nicole Madden, the system’s director of psychiatric services, said Bozeman Health is unwavering in its commitment to expanding and strengthening the region’s Psychiatric Services continuum of care, underscoring milestones and progress made through partnerships.
“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,” Madden said.
The construction of the adult inpatient psychiatric unit is an expansion of Bozeman Health psychiatric services that will reduce the need for people to travel far distances to seek the inpatient mental health care they need, she said.
The overall project cost is about $12 million with completion targeted for late 2025. The 14-bed unit is designed to provide safe, compassionate and enriching therapeutic services. An estimated 500 patients will be supported annually.
Hodges emphasized the importance of community support and participation in helping to ensure crucial health care access and advancements continue to meet the needs of the region’s growing population.
“With the support of our community, we’re inspiring hope, creating meaningful change and helping to ensure vital health care services are accessible for all,” she said. “It’s remarkable to see the positive and lasting change that can be made when communities come together.”
The Enchanted Garden Gala will be held on Saturday, April 26, from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., in the SUB ballrooms at Montana State University.
Guests are encouraged to embrace garden glamour and indulge in an evening of enchantment, hope and generosity. The event features a special performance by the renowned Montana Ballet Company during a served dinner, an inspirational program, live and silent auctions filled with exclusive experiences and one-of-a-kind items, and other surprise elements.
