Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards Raise $2.3 Million for DAP Health at Star-Studded Gala

The 31st annual Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards lit up the Palm Springs Convention Center with a dazzling display of community spirit, generosity, and support for DAP Health, raising $2.3 million for the second consecutive year.

The event—presented by Desert Care Network—is the nonprofit’s largest fundraiser of the year, and it continues to play a critical role in supporting health equity and life-saving care across the Coachella Valley.

Guests were treated to a night of elegance and impact, as local leaders, celebrities, and supporters came together to celebrate DAP Health’s mission and expand its ability to serve the community’s most vulnerable.

“From the incredible donors to the passionate team behind the scenes, this was truly a night to remember,” said event organizers. “It was filled with heart, hope, and overwhelming generosity.”

The funds raised will help DAP Health continue its essential services, including HIV care, primary healthcare, behavioral health, and housing support for underserved populations in the region.

The Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards have long been a cornerstone of community giving in Palm Springs, honoring both those who champion health equity and those who directly benefit from its promise.
