Stacy’s Message
Your absence is
warmly requested
Un-Gala Gala
September 24, 2026
Stay home, get comfortable, and make a meaningful difference. Grace Hospice’s Un-Gala Gala is a non-event benefit for supporters who care deeply about accessible end-of-life care for everyone who needs us.
The
easiest
gala to
attend
No ballroom. No dress code. No small talk.
This is a fundraiser you can support from the comfort of home. Instead of gathering for a traditional gala, we invite you to use the week for remembrance, self-care, and connection, while helping Grace Hospice continue to provide compassionate, individualized care.
Your gift supports Grace Hospice’s mission of providing comfort, dignity, respect, and peace of mind to patients and families throughout the Twin Cities.
What you can skip
Just make a gift, choose something restorative, and know your support is helping neighbors receive compassionate end-of-life care.
A week for
remembrance, self-care, and connection
September 21-25
Participate in whatever way feels right to you. Grace Hospice will share prompts and ideas throughout the week on social media, along with opportunities for supporters to connect and reflect. Join us here on September 24th for a special video message from President & CEO Stacy Lysen and a remembrance ritual led by Chaplain Patty Beadle
Self-care
Take time to restore
Read, take a walk, enjoy a favorite meal, listen to music, rest, or do something else that brings comfort and calm.
Remembrance
Honor someone you love
Light a candle, share a memory, revisit a meaningful photo, or dedicate your gift in honor or memory of someone special.
Connection
Share the experience
Call a friend, connect with family, or post a photo or short video showing how you are participating in the Un-Gala Gala.
