Foundation Fundraising Events
Antelope Valley Medical Center Foundation exists to build healthy communities by supporting programs and services, that enable Antelope Valley Medical Center to provide quality care to those we serve. Our mission is to raise funds for the hospital’s current needs and long-range growth.

Due to the Pandemic
The AVMC Foundation Board of Directors have made several changes to the foundation events in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines, and will continue to make additional changes annually.
Golf Tournament
The invitational golf tournament’s proceeds benefit Antelope Valley Medical Center’s Greatest Need. For 19 years, the golf tournament has successfully raised much needed funds and brought awareness for important health related causes. Over the years, the foundation has raised more than $1.5 million supporting such programs as the neonatal intensive care unit, mental health, the emergency department and many more.
The goal of the golf tournament is to raise funds to support enhanced healthcare options for the Antelope Valley, and surrounding communities. Every dollar raised helps make a significant difference. Whether you are a novice or experienced golfer, you will enjoy a day of play while raising money for a great cause.
Foundation Gala
Each year, the foundation’s board of directors and gala committee choose a hospital department in need to support enhanced healthcare options. Since its inception in 2009, the foundation has raised more than $1.7 million supporting programs such as the Women and Infants Pavilion, Cardiac Cath Lab Services, Pediatric Unit, Emergency Department and many more. In addition, the foundation has supported the hospital with education, training, renovations, and state-of-the-art equipment combined with greatest need funds. Examples of these purchases include:
- Several Giraffe omnibeds for NICU
- Infusion pumps throughout hospital
- Brand new patient furniture and aesthetics throughout hospital
- And much more!
