2025 Elevate Gala Hosted by Saint Joseph London Foundation

LONDON, Ky. (August 4, 2025) — The 2025 Elevate Gala, hosted by the Saint Joseph London Foundation, will take place on Saturday, August 23, 2025, at the London Community Center. Now in its 12th year, the event will include dinner, silent and live auctions, and live music by the Encore Band.

This year’s theme, “We Rise by Lifting Others,” highlights the focus on raising funds for ceiling-mounted patient lift systems at Saint Joseph London. These systems are designed to improve patient mobility and enhance caregiver safety.

“We are committed to investing in programs and projects, such as this, that improve patient outcomes and caregiver well-being,” said Delaine Thiel, CFRE, vice president, Saint Joseph London Foundation. “Support from the Elevate Gala directly impacts our ability to advance care and safety at our hospital.”

Businesses and individuals can participate as a guest or sponsor, by donating items for the silent auction, or advertising in a commemorative keepsake program recognizing supporters.
