A Night with Nemours gala to benefit Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children is on the move! Construction on the hospital campus means a change of venue for this successful event, which has raised more than a million dollars to help children.

The new venue allows us to replace the traditional sit down dinner with a more dynamic atmosphere where guests move freely through several beautiful rooms. Come mix and mingle with your friends and colleagues while enjoying sumptuous dinner and dessert stations as well as cocktails. The Eturnity Band — a crowd favorite at the 2011 gala — will provide great music for dancing. Complimentary valet parking will be provided.
