 Honoring Lisa Middleton and adding to the magic, The Temptations will headline this year’s gala.
Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, winners of multiple Grammys, and the voices behind timeless hits like “My Girl,” “Just My Imagination,” and “Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone,” The Temptations are more than a musical act, they are living history.
Their songs have defined generations, bridging divides and inspiring joy. For gala guests, the chance to sway to their soulful harmonies will be both a celebration of music and a reminder of the power of legacy, a perfect echo of The Chase’s enduring mission.
This year’s spotlight shines on Lisa Middleton. In 2026, DAP Health proudly honors Middleton for her transformative leadership and unwavering commitment to community. From championing affordable housing to advocating for seniors, veterans, and working families, she has led with both heart and purpose. Recipient of the Community Service Award, Middleton embodies the very principles DAP Health celebrates — integrity, inclusivity, and the courage to lead authentically.
Created by (and named after) the late, world-renowned interior designer Steve Chase — an early DAP Health donor, volunteer, and board member who worked touring the globe but loved Palm Springs best — this glittery gala is a golden star on the desert’s social calendar.
“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.
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.
