43nd Annual Scholarship Gala
"Brilliance In Action: Scholars Illuminating Equity"
Claremont Resort and Club | October 10, 2026
Sponsorship Packages Available Now
An Evening of
Legacy, Leadership & Lasting Impact
Each year, the Sinkler Miller Medical Association Gala is more than a celebration—it’s a call to action.
We gather to honor the trailblazers in medicine, uplift the next generation of physicians, and fuel the programs that are reshaping health equity. Your support—whether through ticket purchases or sponsorship—directly powers our year-round efforts: providing scholarships that help future physicians overcome financial barriers and creating pipeline programs that introduce underrepresented students to careers in medicine. It also strengthens our advocacy work, which is focused on improving health outcomes in our communities.
Join us—for the legacy, for the future, and for the community that deserves to lead it.
