Hot Springs Health Foundation to host Casino Royale Gala

The Hot Springs Health Foundation will host its first fundraising gala on Saturday, March 1 at the Hot Springs County Fairgrounds. The festivities begin with a cocktail hour at 4:30 pm, followed by dinner at 6 pm. The event will feature a silent and live auction, games, live music, a bar hosted by One Eyed Buffalo, and dinner catered by We Got Your Six Portions. 

All proceeds from the 2025 Gala will directly benefit the new spinal surgery service at Hot Springs Health. This is in partnership with Premier Bone and Joint.  

“We are excited to announce new service lines that will enhance patient care at HSH, one of them being the orthopedic spine surgery with Dr. DiPompeo, which will begin February 26,” CEO Scott Alwin said. “We are continuously looking for services that we can provide our community. Adding spine surgery will be a great asset to Hot Springs Health. We continue to focus on patient care and provide our patients with the best care without them having to travel long distances to receive the care they need.” 

The funds raised at the gala will allow the HSH Foundation to purchase specialized equipment to support orthopedic spine surgery. This equipment includes a spinal surgical bed and the surgical scope necessary for this specific surgery. 

“This event will be an exciting evening with fun entertainment and a chance to win big prizes and bid on fantastic raffle items. The Foundation greatly appreciates the generous support of our sponsors and the community which enables us to fulfill our mission and commitment to Hot Springs Health. We invite everyone to enjoy an evening out, enjoy some great food, entertainment and good company, all while supporting a good cause,” Foundation Director Laura Budd said.  

Tickets can be purchased directly from the Hot Springs Health Foundation, 864-8104, the Thermopolis Chamber of Commerce or at Storyteller. Tickets are $50 per person or $90 couples ticket and $70 at the door
