Annual Gala

Each May, Summit Medical Group Foundation hosts a gala and auction full of star-studded entertainment that has become the talk of the town. Hundreds of people gather at The Grove in Cedar Grove, New Jersey, raising money to make a difference in the community.

The blockbuster evening has had special appearances and been hosted by Whoopie Goldberg, Andy Cohen of Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live”, Seth Meyers of NBC’s “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and Jay Leno of “The Tonight Show” and “Jay Leno’s Garage”. Helping up the ante again was celebrity auctioneer Paul Zekos, who enthusiastically auctioned off unique VIP experiences and incredible trips during the live auction.

Proceeds from the gala enable us to further our mission by offering free year-round wellness screenings to neighbors in need, mentorship programs to medical students, scholarships to students pursuing careers in healthcare and comfort programs for patients and caregivers standing tall in their fight against cancer at the new Summit Medical Group Cancer Centers.
