2010 Nazareth Home Gala

The 8th annual Nazareth Home Gala was a resounding success! We would like to extend a sincere thank you to all who gathered at the Hammond Federal Courthouse to celebrate the miracles of Nazareth Home.

We are blessed to live in a community that is so dedicated to our mission. It is because of supporters like you, that we can continue to offer outstanding care for the medically compromised children of Northwest Indiana.
