Annual Griffin Health Gala slated Oct. 25 at Aria in Prospect

Celebrate the swagger and style of the sensational crooners of the 1950s at The 2024 Griffin Health Gala Oct. 25 at Aria in Prospect.

Starring the one-and-only Sal “The Voice” Valentinetti, this brash bash promises style that’s sharp, music that’s hot and an atmosphere “That’s Amore!” 

Valentinetti is the unforgettable Golden Buzzer sensation and finalist on America’s Got Talent. An Italian-American crooner with a voice that melts hearts and resurrects the swagger of Sinatra, Martin, and Bennett, Valentinetti has got the pipes, the born-and-bred New York personality, and the pizzazz to make sure “Everybody Loves Somebody.”

Black tie dress is suggested. Individual tickets are $225 and a table of 10 is $2,250. 

Sponsorship opportunities are available. Proceeds will support Griffin Health’s mission to provide critical connections between patients and social services, coordinate outpatient care with compassionate outreach and expert navigation, and empower individuals with disease management education and support.

Tickets can be purchased at griffinhealth.org/gala. 

For more information on tickets or sponsorship opportunities, contact Griffin Hospital Development Fund, 203-732-7384 or Lnista@griffinhealth.org.
