Gather your friends, dress in your favorite black and white attire, and step into an unforgettable evening at this year’s FHN Festival of Trees Gala. Indulge in an elegant night of delicious food and warm conversation as the incredible dueling pianos from Felix and Fingers light up the night with high-energy performances of crowd-pleasing favorites.
Given a recent reassessment of the greatest immediate need, this year’s Gala will support the FHN Foundation’s fundraising campaign to replace the defibrillators in the hospital. Through this replacement, many adults’ and children’s lives will be saved in our Emergency Department and throughout the hospital. The new defibrillators feature enhanced technology that ensures accurate documentation of the patient’s heart rhythm and any medications administered during treatment.
Winners of the FHN Physician of the Year Award and FHN Advanced Practice Professional of the Year Award will also be announced that evening. You don't want to miss it!

We like to think of the piano as a metaphor for FHN. Some songs might seem simple—like “Chopsticks” — but when a pianist really connects with the instrument, mixing different notes, rhythms, and keys, something beautiful happens. It’s the same at FHN. Everyone has a role to play—nurses, providers, CNAs, support staff, donors—and when we all come together, we make something meaningful. Like black and white keys on a piano, it takes all of us working together to create harmony. And when we do, the result is a melody that makes a real difference in people’s lives.
Thank you to our 2025 FHN Foundation sponsors!
