2023 Gala of Hope

Thank you for making the ALS Gala of Hope so spectacular!

It was a beautiful evening of inspiration, motivation and HOPE! There are not enough words to express our sincere awe and gratitude to everyone that came out to support the ALS Hope Foundation. The evening was truly a success due to all of you, and we are deeply grateful for your support and generosity.

Our heartfelt thank you to Dr. Stacy Lewin Farber, the keynote speaker, who enlightened us on the true meaning of hope, as she shared her journey with ALS. Her story made us both laugh and cry....but left us knowing that she truly is a force to be reckoned with. We haven't heard the last from her!

A huge thank you to Joel Goldhirsh, our virtual guest speaker. Though he was not able to attend in person, his presence filled the room as he shared his battle with ALS and how it may control his body, but that he refuses to let it control his mind. Through humor and directness, he shared his mission with all of us.

Thank you to David Meissner for speaking about Joel and Your ALS Guide and sharing this important resource for healthcare professionals, patients and caregivers. 

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 festivities. Thank you to the staff at Vie who admirably managed a room full of 300 guests with ease and professionalism. The food was delicious, the room was gorgeous, and every one felt welcome and taken care of. 
And of course, a huge thank you to our 5th Annual Gala of Hope committee members and volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure every moment leading up to the event and the event itself was a gleaming success. 

A sincere thank you to each and every one of YOU who attended the event, bought a raffle ticket, bid on a Silent Auction item, or donated. We hope you all left knowing that you have made a difference in the work that we do.
 
And finally, thank you to the people and their families who are living with ALS, or who had a loved one with ALS, who came. We love and admire you and appreciate your presence. You are why we do what we do.
