Celebrate an Extraordinary Evening at the 2026 VIMY Awards

Join us on Thursday, November 5, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. as Coachella Valley Volunteers in Medicine welcomes guests to The Show at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage for an unforgettable evening celebrating community, compassion, and the power of giving.

This year's VIMY Award will honor Frank and Mary Ann Xavier, whose generosity, leadership, and unwavering commitment to our community have made a lasting impact throughout the Coachella Valley. Their dedication to improving the lives of others embodies the spirit of the VIMY Award and inspires all who know them.

The VIMY Award recognizes individuals and organizations whose vision and service have strengthened healthcare access for uninsured and underserved residents of the Coachella Valley. Past honorees include the Desert Healthcare District & Foundation, Patrick Evans, Howard Lincoln, Dr. Ronald Hare, and Ernesto C. Rosales, each leaving a remarkable legacy of service.

Adding to the excitement, guests will enjoy an unforgettable performance by Magic Rocks, blending world-class illusion, comedy, and audience participation into an evening filled with wonder and entertainment.

More than an awards celebration, the VIMY Awards are an opportunity to make a meaningful difference. Every ticket purchased, sponsorship secured, and auction bid placed helps Coachella Valley Volunteers in Medicine continue providing free, compassionate healthcare to thousands of uninsured adults throughout our valley.

Celebrate. Be Inspired. Change Lives.

We look forward to welcoming you for an evening where generosity creates lasting impact.
