Annual Gala

Join us on Thursday, August 14, for an escape to paradise. We are proud to bring the St. Mary’s gala back to the historic Sanford Stud Farm. Island enthusiasts will delight in having a little slice of paradise right here in the city of Amsterdam!

Last year, more than 350 community members attended this event, and we anticipate that number to grow this year. We hope you will join us for a fun-filled night of live music performed by Grand Central Station, dancing, delicious food served by Union Hall Inn, exciting raffles, silent auction, and more!

Event proceeds will benefit St. Mary’s Healthcare urgent care and emergency services.
