The Garage Gala is EmergyCare's annual signature fundraiser. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Garage Gala—one of Erie’s most anticipated spring events. To celebrate this milestone, we’re returning to our original theme and: “Taking it to the Streets.” Guests will enjoy a vibrant street-fair atmosphere that showcases things we love about the Erie area - featuring local food trucks and vendors, refreshing beverages, and entertainment highlighting local talent.

Unlike a typical gala, this event provides a casual, laid-back atmosphere where guests can kick back, relax, and enjoy the evening. It’s also an incredible networking opportunity for businesses and individuals who share a common goal: enhancing the lives of those in our community. Join us for an unforgettable evening that combines fun, connection, and impact.

The Women’s Care Center (WCC) is hosting our annual fundraising 5K Run+Walk for Life on May 30th, 2026, at Pleasant Ridge Park in Fairview, PA! Start the day with the 5K Run or Walk, then stay and enjoy a relaxed picnic-style lunch, family activities, basket raffle and silent auctions, games, and more! Whether you're participating or cheering others on, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. All proceeds benefit the Women’s Care Center of Erie County, helping provide free medical services, educational programs, and essential resources to women and families in our community.

For 44 years, WCC has provided its free and confidential services, such as pregnancy support, STD testing and treatment, adoption services, and education. Our services are designed to assist individuals and families throughout the tri-state area in bringing emotional healing, character development, and family stability.
