Thanks to the generosity of our donors and community, the event raised more than $44,000, representing a 52% increase from the previous year. Attendance also grew by 36%, reflecting the expanding reach and impact of this event.


2026 Impact at a Glance

  • $44,000+ raised to support patient care
  • 52% increase in funds raised 
  • 36% increase in attendance
  • 59 pairs of shoes provided to patients in need
  • 57 pairs of eyeglasses provided to patients in need

Why Your Support Matters

The DEAC (Delivering Equal Access to Care) Clinic is a student-run, physician-staffed clinic that provides free care to individuals who need it most. Funds raised through the gala directly support patient care services and help remove barriers to health care for underserved communities throughout Winston-Salem and the surrounding area.

Last year's gala funding helped provide 59 pairs of new shoes and 57 pairs of eyeglasses for patients who might otherwise have gone without. We are deeply grateful to everyone who continues to support the clinic's mission and expand access to high-quality health care.

Thank You to Our Supporters

We extend our sincere gratitude to Cameron Webb, MD'10, JD, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Health, for serving as the distinguished guest speaker at the 2026 DEAC Gala.

We also thank Fader Real Estate, Legacy Stables and Events, Delicious by Shereen, our generous donors, auction item contributors, attendees, volunteers and musical guests whose support made the event possible.
