On September 23rd
HOPE Takes Center Stage!
Gather your friends and get ready to be inspired at the 12th Annual Hope Gala at the Overland Park Convention Center.
At one of the most uplifting events of the year, you’ll hear powerful stories of our incredible Hope Heroes and their families, and how you can help honor every child and family fighting cancer. You’ll meet children and parents whose lives have been changed through the generosity of our community, and you’ll meet the amazing people who create hope through their work every day.
Braden’s Hope has funded more than $4.7 million in childhood cancer research over the past 12 years. It’s your opportunity to see the impact our work has had on children fighting cancer, right here in Kansas City and across the nation.
And most important, everyone will have their own opportunity to help create HOPE by supporting our commitment to advancing childhood cancer treatments and cures.
Countless magical moments await that you won’t want to miss – being inspired by the powerful program, connecting with our Heroes, bidding on amazing items in our live auction, and celebrating HOPE on the dance floor – so get your tickets today!
