East Tennessee Children’s Hospital Gala Among the Trees

East Tennessee Children's Hospital's 2025 Gala Among the Trees features an evening of fine food, signature cocktails, live entertainment with Smooth Sailor and holiday wonder. Guests will have early access to purchase trees and other holiday items at East Tennessee Children's Hospital Fantasy of Trees. Ticket sales start Oct. 28.

All funds raised at the gala and Fantasy of Trees will support the expansion and renovation of the Hogs for the Cause Hematology/Oncology Infusion Center, a new space that will offer additional room and offerings for the patients and families routinely visiting for treatment. Each month, the hospital's HEMONC clinic has 45 new patient visits and over 450 appointments.
