MET GALA SCV, the Santa Clarita Valley’s premier fundraising gala benefiting metastatic breast cancer MBC research, today announced UCLA Health as its Grand Architect Presenting Sponsor and Emmy nominated *Dancing with the Stars* professional Edyta Sliwinska as the evening’s emcee for the 2026 event. The gala will take place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at Blomgren Ranch in Santa Clarita with doors opening at 5:30 PM for cocktail hour and dinner at 6:30 PM. The evening will feature live and silent auctions, moments honoring those affected by MBC, and sponsor recognition throughout the night. “UCLA Health’s support demonstrates the power of community partnership in the fight against metastatic breast cancer,” said Eva Miranda Crawford, Thriver Event Chair. “Combined with Edyta Sliwinska’s star power as emcee, it will be an unforgettable evening that drives real impact for patients and families.”
Metastatic breast cancer, cancer that spreads beyond the breast to vital organs, claims an average of 115 lives every day in the United States. Fewer than one third of patients survive beyond five years. All funds raised at MET GALA SCV support Cancer Culture, a patient led 501(c)(3) organization accelerating breakthroughs in MBC research and amplifying the voices of those living with the disease.
Guests are invited to embrace the signature dress code, Victorian Whimsy with Steampunk Spark, where Bridgerton era elegance meets bold resilient spirit. Think silk gowns, corsets, waistcoats, brass gears, vibrant feathers, and metallic accents.
