Greenwich EMS is hosting its annual fundraising event on Friday, April 5th at Greenwich Country Day School at 6:30pm.
GEMS is thrilled to expand its partnership with Greenwich Country Day School this year by transforming its dining area into an 80s dance party to celebrate the lifesaving work that the organization does for the Town every day.

The evening will kick off with Greenwich’s very own DJ April Larken, followed by dinner and dancing with 80s cover band, Jessie’s Girl. Jessie’s Girl has performed at the GEMS event for the past two years and their fun and festive performance encourages guests to unleash the eye of the tiger, put on high tops, tease their hair, and bring back the magic of the 1980s.
Proceeds from the evening will support GEMS’s capital needs, which directly supports every Greenwich citizen, school, and business in Town. Tickets begin at $375 per person with sponsorship opportunities ranging from $500 to $25,000. During the event, guests will be encouraged to donate to help GEMS.

GEMS began operations in 1986 as an independent, non-profit organization. It has received ongoing statewide recognition for its demanding professional standards, a system design that assures rapid responses, innovative technology, excellent training opportunities, and
comprehensive community outreach programs.
GEMS is not a department or arm of Town government, but rather an independent provider of emergency medical services pursuant to a contract with the Town. GEMS pays for all its capital needs through fundraising efforts, thus saving the Town more than $12 million since
its inception more than 37 years ago. For more information visit www.greenwichems.org.
