About the Gala

Who will be in attendance?

More than 350 guests will be at the 2019 Children’s Hope Gala. Many attending have been personally impacted by the compassionate care provided to a young family member facing medical challenges or terminal illness. These people are often influencers and connectors, as you can see by the reach of the Gala to communities throughout the Commonwealth and beyond.
