By attending Golden Gala 2025, you will help launch Tallahassee Memorial’s ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) program, which brings life-saving support to people whose lungs or heart are not working properly. You are truly giving life.
The TMH Foundation proudly announces Golden Gala 2025, featuring the Classic Rock band FOREIGNER. With 80 million albums sold worldwide, FOREIGNER is one of the biggest selling bands in history and a 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
New for this year’s Gala, guests at VIP tables will enjoy a private set featuring Fortune Feimster, a stand-up comedian, writer and actor who uses her confessional comedy to bring people together. You may know her from her Netflix special, “Sweet & Salty,” which was nominated for a Critics Choice Award. Fortune will also perform before FOREIGNER takes the stage!
Golden Gala 2025 will benefit Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare’s ECMO Program. ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation) is an advanced level of life support that helps people whose lungs or heart are not working properly.
During ECMO treatment, blood is pumped out of the body into a machine that removes carbon dioxide and adds oxygen. The oxygenated blood is then pumped back into the body. This treatment can be used to provide support for the heart and lungs while they heal from infection or trauma, or it can fully bypass heart and lung function if needed.
For many patients who need it, ECMO is their last chance at survival.
