We’re less than one month away from MMRI’s highly anticipated 1958 Gala, and now is the time to secure your tickets! On Saturday, April 25, 2026, MMRI will host its third annual 1958 Gala at the Adirondack Bank Center at the Utica Memorial Auditorium. Presented by Adirondack Bank and chaired by Rocco Arcuri Sr. and Robert Clark, this exclusive black-tie event will honor one of our region’s most influential leaders, Harold “Tom” Clark.

With an exciting new venue and expanded space to dine, dance, and celebrate, this year’s gala promises to be bigger and better than ever. Guests will enjoy an elegant evening filled with great company, meaningful connections, and a memorable atmosphere, along with an open bar, exceptional food, music, and high-end raffle baskets.

This event is a powerful opportunity to come together in support of research in heart disease, autism, lupus, PTSD, diabetes, and more, advancing discoveries that continue to shape the future of science and improve lives. Guests will have the unique opportunity to connect with the scientists leading this work and experience firsthand the impact of their support.

Tickets are $250 per guest and are expected to sell quickly. Sponsorship opportunities are still available for those looking to elevate their presence while supporting this important cause.
