People with Purpose Gala

Our spring People with Purpose Gala Fundraiser took place on Saturday, April 8, 2023, at the beautiful Casa Bella Event Center in Sunol, California. This elegant and festive event raised over $150,000, which will allow HERS to provide post-surgical products for under-served patients for many months to come. We’re so grateful to all who joined us and/or donated in support of our event.

We’ll return to the beautifully re-designed Castlewood Country Club on Saturday, April 27, 2024, for our 15^th Annual People with Purpose Gala. Be sure to save the date and sign up for our newsletter so you’ll be “in the know” about our event details, including our 2024 HERS Award Honorees!
