ONE INCREDIBLE EVENING. ONE EXTRAORDINARY COMMUNITY.
What a night to remember! VIM’s 2026 Circle of Caring Gala, held on October 30, brought together more than 430 community supporters, volunteers, sponsors, and friends—and raised over $612k to support our mission of providing healthcare to neighbors who need it most.
One of the evening’s most special moments was welcoming Mary Ellen McConnell, wife of our founder, the late Dr. Jack McConnell, whose vision and compassion launched VIM in 1993. More than three decades later, that vision continues to change lives thanks to the generosity of this remarkable community. VIM also premiered its legacy video of the history of VIM that evening. The video is available for viewing on our website homepage (vimclinic.org).
A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors and everyone who joined us, supported us, and helped make this extraordinary evening possible. Together, we're making a lasting difference!
And while the Gala may be over, VIM’s fundraising work must continue. Our Annual Appeal is underway through January. To support our mission, visit https://vimclinic.org/giving/
