Gala 2024: A Night at The Met Where fashion meets technology
September 29, 2024 | Mother Lode Fairgrounds
An evening of glamour, innovation and whimsy to benefit advanced technology
at the Diana J. White Cancer Institute
Join us to support lifesaving cancer care in our community and revel in a dazzling experience inspired by the botanical theme of this year’s Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala.
Distinguished Physician Award
The Distinguished Physician Award is presented to an Adventist Health Sonora physician for providing exceptional care, demonstrating outstanding collegiality and embodying the spirit of Adventist Health’s mission to live God’s love by inspiring health, wholeness and hope.
This year, the 2nd Annual Distinguished Physician Award recognizes a provider whose remarkable dedication and kindness has made a lasting impression on the Mother Lode community: Jason Jeffery, MD.
For Dr. Jeffery, building a relationship with his patients and being a part of their long-term health and healing is the most rewarding part of his work.
Over the last 10 years serving our community as an internal medicine physician, Dr. Jeffery has become widely beloved for this deep commitment to whole-person health and well-being. Patients often remark how grateful they are to have someone taking care of them who is so knowledgeable, thorough and, above all, kind.
It is our honor to recognize Dr. Jeffery for his outstanding work and celebrate the remarkable impact he has had on the lives of his patients.

Help bring the latest advances in diagnostic imaging to Sonora
Your support of Gala 2024 will help fund the purchase of a state-of-the-art PET/CT machine with advanced artificial intelligence capabilities. Positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) scans are used for cancer diagnosis, treatment planning and assessment of how well treatments are working. This sophisticated imaging equipment is essential for our care teams at the Diana J. White Cancer Institute to provide cutting-edge oncology services for our community.
Provide hope for local cancer patients
Gala 2024 will also offer a thrilling live auction to benefit the Cancer Patient Support Fund. Bid on a selection of unique items to help local cancer patients and their families with transportation to and from appointments, groceries, utility bills, medication co-pays and much more.
