31st Annual Hoag Summer Fest Raises over $261,000

O.C.’s Favorite Foodie and Music Event Celebrates 31 Years of Supporting Hoag

Newport Beach, CA (July 10, 2018) – The 2018 Hoag Summer Fest (formerly known as Hoag Summer Classic), hosted by the Hoag Hospital Foundation and its 552 Club, was a sold-out event with more than 1,500 guests at Newport Dunes in Newport Beach. The highly anticipated annual event was held on Wednesday, June 27, 2018, raising over $261,000 for Hoag.

This year’s festival-themed event included a Ferris wheel and was co-chaired by Drs. Valery and David Brouwer and community leaders Lauri and Steve Delson.

“For 31 years, this event has not only served as a way to benefit Hoag and health care in our community but also to bring the community together for a night of fantastic food, fun and entertainment,” said Flynn A. Andrizzi, Ph.D., president of Hoag Hospital Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful for our community partners who have helped shape Hoag into what it is today, and are also helping to determine what Hoag evolves into tomorrow.”

Guests met some of Orange County’s top chefs while sampling exquisite food and beverages from 40 of the finest local restaurants. Hoag Summer Fest restaurant partners, many of whom have been loyal participants for decades, were vital to the overall success of this popular event.
