The 2017 Hoag Summer Classic, hosted by the Hoag Hospital Foundation and its 552 Club, was a sold-out event with more than 1,400 guests at The Newport Dunes Resort in Newport Beach. This summer tradition was held on Wednesday, June 28, 2017, raising $245,860 for Hoag.

Themed “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” this year’s Hoag Summer Classic was co-chaired by Megan and Jonathan Acosta and Caroline and Andre Vovan, M.D.

“For 30 years, our community has come together to enjoy this event that serves for many as the introduction to a life-long partnership with Hoag,” said Flynn A. Andrizzi, Ph.D., president of Hoag Hospital Foundation. “Community support is what allows Hoag to keep its promise of delivering the very best care now and well into the future.”

Guests sampled exquisite food and beverages from 41 of Orange County’s finest restaurants. Hoag Summer Classic restaurant partners, many of whom have been loyal participants for decades, were vital to the overall success of this popular event.
