Dear Community Supporters,
Håfa Adai!
As we commemorate the Guam Memorial Hospital Volunteers Association's 60th Anniversary, we invite you to join us for the 2025 GMHVA Charity Ball on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the elegant Dusit Thani Guam Resort. This year's gala, themed "Boots and Baubles: 60 Years of Grace and Giving," will celebrate six decades of service with an unforgettable evening of Southern charm, fine dining, and community spirit.
A highlight of the evening will be the Legacy of a Lifetime tribute to the late Mrs. Margaret Jones, one of the founding charter members of the GMHVA. Mrs. Jones's unwavering dedication to philanthropy and her commitment to improving healthcare on Guam have left an indelible mark on our island. Her legacy continues to inspire us to pursue our mission of compassionate service.
