Purchase Tickets Sponsor This Event
The gala, which also serves as our most significant fundraiser of the year will honor the individuals who have made significant contributions to help those affected by childhood cancer. At this special event, we will dine and dance with those we love, toast those who are loved but lost and with your help, make a difference in the lives of the children and families battling pediatric cancer.
Since its inception NINE years ago, with your support and generosity, the Hugs for Brady Foundation has proudly raised over 2 MILLION DOLLARS! This could not have been accomplished without your gracious contributions. Please join us in our efforts to support cancer research and to ultimately find a cure for pediatric cancer. Generous donors like you are the key to our success; you make it possible for Hugs for Brady to fulfill our mission to help children battling cancer.
Your consideration to provide us with items for a silent auction or your participation in our sponsorship program would be immensely appreciated. Please review our sponsorship opportunities, and as always, we will be extremely grateful for whatever you can do in this regard. The Silent Auction plays an important role in raising funds at the gala. Any items or trips that you are able to donate are greatly appreciated. We kindly ask that auction items are valued at $500 or greater.
