Dancing for Our Stars “Puttin’ On The Ritz” Gala

About the Event

MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center Foundation’s annual gala, Dancing for Our Stars (DFOS), has become one of the hottest philanthropic events in Long Beach. Presented by the Don Temple Family Charitable Foundation, the much anticipated DFOS gala will take place at The Westin Long Beach on September 9, 2023.

The 2023 gala will benefit the comprehensive mission and impact of both MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, while highlighting the following areas: the Cherese Mari Laulhere BirthCare Center, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, MemorialCare Comprehensive Stroke Center, MemorialCare Orthopedic & Spine Institute, and our Pulmonary/Respiratory Department. The event features seven dancers listed below who have a personal connection to one of these diverse areas of care. Supporters and event attendees will have an opportunity to support their favorite courageous and compassionate dancer(s) by “voting with their dollars” prior to and during the live event as dancers vie for the coveted DFOS Champion Crystal Award!
