DEAC Clinic Gala – An Evening with Purpose
The Wake Forest School of Medicine’s 2026 DEAC Gala – An Evening with Purpose, held at Legacy Stables, marked our most successful year to date. Thanks to the generosity and support of our donors and community, the event raised over $44,000, representing a 52% increase from the previous year. Attendance also grew by 36%, reflecting the expanding reach and impact of this event.
These funds directly support patient care at the DEAC Clinic, including providing 59 pairs of new shoes and 57 pairs of eyeglasses for patients who might otherwise go without. We are deeply grateful to all who continue to help expand access to high-quality health care for underserved communities in and around Winston-Salem.
Plan to join us for the 2027 DEAC (Delivering Equal Access to Care) Clinic Fundraiser and support the patients who benefit from this program. The DEAC Clinic is a student-run and physician-staffed clinic that provides free care to those who need it most.
The next DEAC Gala will be held in March 2027 (final date to be announced) at Legacy Stables, 4151 Thomasville Rd, Winston-Salem, NC 27107. The evening will feature a silent auction with donations from generous community partners, delicious food, live music, and more.
Tickets: $75 each | Wake Forest University School of Medicine Students: $35.
