The upcoming MET Gala SCV aims to support metastatic breast cancer (MBC) research. Scheduled for March 14, 2026, this premier fundraising gala will be held at Blomgren Ranch in Santa Clarita, California. The event features several key elements designed to raise awareness and funding for a vital cause.
Event Details
The doors will open at 5:30 PM, followed by a cocktail hour. Dinner service will commence at 6:30 PM. Attendees can anticipate an evening filled with live and silent auctions, as well as moments dedicated to honoring those affected by metastatic breast cancer.
Sponsorship and Leadership
- Grand Architect Presenting Sponsor: UCLA Health
- Emcee: Edyta Sliwinska, Emmy-nominated professional from *Dancing with the Stars*

Eva Miranda Crawford expressed the significance of UCLA Health’s support. She stated, “It demonstrates the power of community partnership in the fight against metastatic breast cancer.” The combined talents of Sliwinska and the supporters promise an impactful evening for all attendees.
The Cause
Metastatic breast cancer significantly impacts patients, with an average of 115 lives lost daily in the United States. Tragically, less than one-third of patients survive beyond five years. All proceeds from the MET Gala SCV will benefit Cancer Culture, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to accelerating breakthroughs in MBC research.
