The 2014 Forget-Me-Not Gala exceeded our expectations!

What a success. We are so grateful to all those who sponsored, supported and attended this event. More than $81,000 was raised to help the neediest of St. Joseph's Home residents.

Emcee, Gus Gordon, welcomed guests to an entertaining evening featuring cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, raffles, 50/50 drawing, silent and live auctions, plated dinner and live music by the Three Tenors Orchestra.

This biannual fundraiser has been the cornerstone of our Continuing Care Program (established by Sr. Mary Judith Morris, OSF), providing financial assistance to the neediest of residents.
