Gilchrist Presents

The Gilchrist Ball

Saturday, December 5, 2026

The Grand Lodge of Maryland

The 14th biennial Gilchrist Ball will celebrate the extraordinary care Gilchrist provides across Maryland. Every day, Gilchrist provides geriatric, palliative, and hospice care in patient homes, senior living communities, area hospitals and in three inpatient centers located in Towson, Columbia, and Baltimore City. Philanthropic support ensures that every patient receives the care they need—regardless of ability to pay.

Support of the Gilchrist Ball ensures that Gilchrist can continue to be there for everyone who turns to them for comfort, dignity, and expert support. Your partnership strengthens this vital work and makes a lasting difference in the lives of families throughout our community. We hope you will join us for this magical evening.

Please contact Julie Kolankiewicz for more information at jkolankiewicz@gilchristcares.org.
