History of the Toast to Life Gala

The first Toast to Life event was held in 1971.  Four years later, the Auxiliary of Mease Health Care took responsibility for the fund-rasiser and today has formed a partnership with the Morton Plant Mease Foundation in organizing the event.  Over the years, the Toast to Life has become a remarkable example of how people coming together can help to make a difference in their community. 

Over 600 guests are expected to attend this year and the success of this gala event
is possible because of people who participate and care.
