Upstate Gala
Friday, November 21, 2025
Each fall, the Upstate Foundation hosts its premiere signature event, Upstate Gala. During its 45-year history, this gala has raised nearly $10 million to impact patient care, education, research, and community health and well-being.
2025 Beneficiary – Upstate Nursing

This year, proceeds from the Upstate Foundation’s annual Gala will be dedicated to enhancing the well-being, professional development and recognition of the nursing staff at Upstate University Hospital. Upstate Nursing is proud to have a diverse team of nurses each bringing their own personality, strengths, and perspective to the job.
