Another perfect summer evening on the Orange Coast celebrated the lifesaving and life-affirming mission of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian as some 1,300 local citizens came together for the 2024 Hoag Summer Fest at Newport Dunes.

On stage and upfront again, the sounds of the Tijuana Dogs provided the permeating popular beat as 43 O.C. celeb chefs provided the eats. More than $360,000 was raised to benefit Hoag’s ongoing crisis response innovation, reports Chelsea Kottkefrom Hoag Communications.

“We love celebrating Hoag Summer Fest with the community. For 35 years, this event has not only served as a way to benefit Hoag patients but also bring supporters, friends, neighbors and staff together for a night of fantastic food, fun, and entertainment,” stated Flynn A. Andrizzi, president of the Hoag Hospital Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful for our community partners who continue to help Hoag lead in transforming the future of healthcare here in Orange County and beyond.”
