4th Annual Gala of Hope

Thank you to everyone who supported our 4th Annual Gala of Hope, an evening of inspiration, motivation and hope. We are deeply grateful for everyone's generosity and were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and love. We cannot adequately express our sincere appreciation to all of you. 

Our heartfelt thanks go to Officer Scott Davis, the keynote speaker. He shared his journey, his dreams and his focus. He reminded us that ALS does not play fair, but neither do people living with ALS. His strength and determination and emotional story had us all up on the podium with him, supporting him. In his words, he is not dying from ALS, he is living with it!

We were moved by the friends and family of Dr. Robert Sinnott who took on the challenge of doing something great in his honor after hearing him speak last year. Exceeding all expectations, the Dr. Robert Sinnott Research Lab Fund has raised over $150,000, ensuring the establishment of the lab and allowing the ALS Hope Foundation to push forward research towards a cure. Unbelievable! 
 
Additional thanks to emcee Stephanie Stahl from CBS3, who was an excellent host. Thank you to all of our sponsors, many of whom have been on-going supporters of the ALS Hope Foundation. Many thanks to all who donated the raffle and auction items, as your generosity truly added to the evening's festivities. And, of course, a huge thank you to the staff at Vie who admirably managed a room full of 500 guests with ease and professionalism.
 
And most importantly, a sincere thank you to the people and their families who are living with or who have lived with ALS and came out to the gala. We know it is an immensely emotional and difficult night and your presence demonstrates a willingness to come out to advocate for and support the ALS Hope Foundation. You remain our inspiration as we continue to work hard and push forward our mission of care, education and research to make a difference.  

We hope to see you next year!
