About Caritas GalaFrom 1993-2017, The Irene Dunne Guild, in partnership with the trustees of the Saint John's Health Center Foundation, hosted the Caritas Gala, an annual black tie award gala, which raises funds in support of programs and services at Providence Saint John's. Since inception, the Caritas Gala raised over $11 Million for the benefit of Saint John's.
The awards of the evening include the Caritas Award, bestowed upon individuals who demonstrate compassion and concern for others through exceptional service to the community, and the Spirit of Saint John's Award that honors an individual or couple whose service to the Health Center is an example to all of the best in philanthropy and volunteerism.
