This year’s fundraiser celebration was truly unforgettable. Surrounded by supporters, friends, and our amazing community, we came together to make a difference and celebrate the incredible work and dedication of so many.
Honoring Cathy Engelbert
One of the highlights of the evening was presenting WNBA Commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, with a well-deserved award for her outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to making a difference. During the ceremony, Cathy and Chuck shared heartfelt anecdotes about their long-term friendship, offering us all a glimpse into the genuine connections and shared values that drive impactful work. Their stories were both inspiring and deeply moving, reminding us of the power of collaboration and shared purpose.
A Night to Remember
The evening was filled with laughter, joy, and a shared sense of purpose. Guests enjoyed delicious food and fantastic music that set the tone for the night. Our silent auction and wine pull added an extra layer of excitement, and we were thrilled to see so much enthusiasm and support from everyone who participated.
Sharing Our Impact
One of the most touching moments of the evening was sharing an incredible video created by Pepper, showcasing the profound impact of our work. Through this video, we were able to highlight the stories of people like Manav Jain, a grant recipient who spent the summer working on groundbreaking projects, and Meredith, who recently presented her research at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence. Their achievements exemplify the difference we can make when we come together to support one another.
