LONG BEACH—The Rancho Los Amigos Foundation will host its annual Amistad Gala on May 17 at The Westin Long Beach, continuing a tradition of philanthropy that has spanned more than 35 years.

Recognized as the Foundation’s largest fundraising event, the black-tie gala has raised millions of dollars to support patient programs and services at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey.

Guests at the Amistad Gala will enjoy a gourmet dinner, live entertainment, and a silent auction featuring unique experiences and exclusive items. The evening will also highlight Rancho’s transformative impact, with inspiring stories from patients and caregivers who embody resilience and recovery.

Individual tickets for the gala are $350 and include access to the evening’s full program, dining, and entertainment. Sponsorship opportunities, ranging from $3,000 to $50,000, offer premium seating, recognition in event materials, and opportunities to connect with Rancho’s leadership and supporters.
