Milford Regional's 2023 Annual Fundraising Gala & Live Auction Set for Nov. 11

"Scaling New Heights” is the theme of the Mélange 2023 Gala and Live Auction—the signature fundraiser for Milford Regional Medical Center, slated to take place on Saturday, November 11 at The Park Sports Center in Milford.

Since 2005, the Mélange Gala benefit has been providing crucial funds needed to support the most immediate needs of the hospital.

“For the last 17 years, the funds raised from the Mélange Gala and Live Auction have made it possible for Milford Regional to continue the outstanding and compassionate care it provides to patients day after day,” said Milford Regional Medical Center President & CEO Edward J. Kelly. “This annual event has remained one of the highlights among the Milford Regional community that not only affords attendees a spectacular evening but also the understanding that their presence is making an enormous difference in the lives of so many.”

The Mélange 2023 Gala and Live Auction will be hosted by Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Clark, Dr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Hopkins, Mr. and Mrs. Bruno Orlandi and the Tinio Family. Professional auctioneer Harry Santa-Olalla will host the live auction portion of the evening that will feature high-ticket bid items, ranging from travel packages to once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

Sponsorships are available at five different funding levels ranging from $25,000 to $1,000.
