Music, connection, generosity and joy will come together to create an unforgettable August evening when Billings Clinic holds its 43rd Classic on Saturday, August 15, 2026. Classic supporters will gather at the highly anticipated event to celebrate raising funds to support the expansion of Billings Clinic’s Emergency Department. The Classic will once again be held on the grounds of Henry’s Garage and will feature high-energy entertainment from Red Hot Revolution. Known for their dynamic performances and crowd-pleasing sound, the band delivers an electrifying experience that keeps the dance floor full all night long. Top Classic promises an evening of high-flying excitement, elevated energy and tremendous generosity.
This year’s festivities kick off with six golf tournaments and a virtual silent auction throughout the months of July and August, all leading up to the main event: Top Classic. The evening will begin with conversation, familiar faces and new connections, all complemented by exceptional food and drinks. As the night gains momentum, Red Hot Revolution will take the stage, bringing vibrant energy and powerful vocals as guests flood the floor for an evening of dancing.
Proceeds from this year’s Classic will support the expansion of Billings Clinic’s Emergency Department, the heart of trauma care in our region. Each year, more than 50,000 patients turn to the Emergency Department in moments of crisis.
The planned expansion will increase treatment rooms, enhance trauma and critical care capabilities, and improve patient flow to ensure faster, more efficient care. Additional upgrades will include expanded ambulance capacity, advanced imaging capabilities and improved spaces for patients, families and caregivers. Together, these enhancements will restore dignity, speed and compassion to emergency care, ensuring every patient receives the timely, lifesaving treatment they need.
This year’s Classic is chaired by Danielle Moore and Lesly Smith of the Fortin Family Foundation. Their leadership and dedication to improving healthcare in our community reflect a deep commitment to ensuring access to high-quality care for all. Billings Clinic emergency medicine physician Dr. Sean Johnson will serve as physician champion for this year’s Classic.
A limited number of tickets will go on sale to the public beginning June 1. Single tickets can be purchased for $250 each.
