An Evening of Glamour, Giving & Good Fortune

Dear Friends,

We are overwhelmed with gratitude and humbled by the extraordinary generosity shown at our Casino Royale Gala on Saturday, August 8. What an incredible evening it was.

From the moment guests arrived at the Eldorado Hotel & Spa, the room was filled with energy, excitement, and a shared commitment to advancing healthcare in Northern New Mexico. The beautiful décor, vibrant atmosphere, and sense of community created a truly unforgettable celebration of philanthropy and purpose.

Most importantly, because of you, the event raised more than $800,000 in support of CHRISTUS St. Vincent and the patients and families we are privileged to serve. Your generosity will help ensure access to exceptional healthcare throughout our region and strengthen our mission of compassionate care for generations to come.

To our attendees, thank you for showing up with such enthusiasm, kindness, and generosity. Your presence transformed the evening into something far more meaningful than a fundraiser. You reminded us of the power of community and the impact we can make when we come together around a common purpose.

To our sponsors, thank you for your steadfast commitment and belief in our mission. Your leadership and investment inspire others to give and make it possible for CHRISTUS St. Vincent to continue providing exceptional care to those who need it most.

To our volunteers, vendors, and event partners, thank you for the countless hours, creativity, and dedication that brought every detail to life. Your efforts behind the scenes ensured an extraordinary experience for our guests and contributed immeasurably to the evening's success.

Above all, thank you for the remarkable outpouring of love, generosity, and support. We left the evening inspired, encouraged, and deeply grateful. Together, we are doing more than raising funds. We are investing in healthier lives, stronger communities, and a brighter future for Northern New Mexico.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our mission and for standing alongside CHRISTUS St. Vincent. We are honored to be your partner in making a difference.



With heartfelt gratitude,

Marcos Zubia VP & Chief Development Officer
