Memorial Medical Center Foundation’s 16th annual gala, Dancing for Our Stars (DFOS) , has become one of the hottest philanthropic events in Long Beach. Presented by the Temple Family Charitable Foundation, the much anticipated DFOS gala will take place at The Westin Long Beach on Saturday, March 6, 2027 . Proceeds from the 2027 gala will benefit the comprehensive mission and diverse areas of care at MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital. The event features dancers who have a personal connection to our hospitals. 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! Thank you in advance for your leading support.
