Driven by Purpose, Fueled by You
At The Chase, your presence does more than fill a seat—it fuels a movement. In a community where countless individuals are left without access to quality health care, your support enables DAP Health to break down barriers and deliver comprehensive, life-changing care to those who need it most. By joining us, you help expand essential services, amplify the voices of the overlooked, and affirm that health care is not a privilege—it’s a right. Your ticket is more than an entry to a prestigious event; it’s a commitment to creating a healthier, more equitable future for everyone.
“Every attendee can count themselves among the bighearted humanitarians who help remove roadblocks to quality care and supportive services for their neighbors and friends so that everyone may live life to their fullest potential,” says DAP Health CEO David Brinkman.

Step back into the unforgettable moments of The Chase 2024 Live from the Blue Carpet and behind the scenes of the Coachella Valley’s most anticipated fundraising event.
We promised to “gala like never before,” and we delivered — with memorable highlights, inspiring stories, and a night that redefined what a gala can be.

Please join us: Louise Minnick, Karyl Ketchum, and I are putting together a Coachella Valley Lesbian/Queer Women's DAP Advisory Committee table for the Chase Awards. While tickets are pricey, it promises to be a fantastic evening for a great cause.
As you know, we’ve been working hard to establish a lesbian/queer women-centric clinic, and we’re so very close—big news from DAP is coming soon! Now is the time to show up and show our presence as lesbians with healthcare needs.
Please let me know if you're on board, and I’ll leave you to get your tickets. I hope to hear your resounding support!

About DAP Health
Founded in 1984 by a group of community volunteers, DAP Health is an internationally renowned humanitarian health care organization and federally qualified health center (FQHC). In 2012, the nonprofit expanded its scope to care for all people.
Thanks to nearly 40 years of caring for people both directly and indirectly affected not only by the HIV/AIDS epidemic but by various other public health emergencies, DAP Health has the physical and intellectual resources, the desire, and — most importantly — the imagination to effect even greater positive change in the desert and beyond.
The next epidemic hasn’t surfaced — yet. But just as DAP Health met earlier community health crises decisively and successfully, its experts stand at the ready.
The future of health care is holistic, innovative, agile, collaborative — and above all — patient-centric. DAP Health puts humanity back into health care. It meets community members where they are. It seeks out and lifts up allies for the betterment of all.
