Adventure Gala 2027

Welcome to the 2027 Adventure Gala, Beneath the Spanish Sky!

One of the most talked about events in Ventura County, “Adventure,” has been a signature event for over 20 years. We are back in 2027 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake Village. This black-tie event features tasting stations during the reception followed by a three-course culinary experience with wine, entertainment, and a silent and live auction.

100% of the Funds Raised Will Support Cancer Services at St. John's Hospitals

When dealing with a cancer diagnosis, we know how hard it can be to coordinate the various aspects of your care. At St. John’s Hospitals, we provide you with access to everything you will need during your treatment. We are here to help when you need us most. Our mission is to provide the highest quality cancer care for every patient who walks through our doors. Our whole body and mind approach integrates wellness practices alongside the latest therapeutics and procedures in a unique multidisciplinary approach. So much more than just medicine goes into treating our cancer patients.

The Award

The Catherine McAuley Achievement Award pays tribute to a member of the community and a prominent physician who have made a lasting contribution to society over his/her lifetime through “works of mercy” and who have also made a significant contribution in furthering the good work of the Hospitals. Finally, it is a reflection of the values held by Catherine McAuley, the founder of the Sisters of Mercy, in her quest to bring kindness and caring to all who need help.

The Honorees

The Need

St. John’s Hospitals are on a mission to alleviate the disparities and inequities in our community in an effort to better serve the sick and disenfranchised. At St. John’s, we take responsibility by leading by example—we are transforming healthcare in Ventura County. Philanthropy fuels us and supports life-saving services while delivering humankindness at every interaction. Most importantly, the funds raised during the Adventure gala will directly benefit St. John’s most critical cancer services.
