Billings Clinic Classic had raised more than $2 million through online donors before the event started Saturday night.

The donations will go toward the hospital’s Trauma Campaign, which has a goal of more than $15 million to expand the emergency department.

Billings Clinic has the largest emergency department in the state. The department cared for 52,000 patients in 2025 and hospital projections show that number could increase to 70,000 patients in coming years.
