21st Annual Greater Philadelphia Virtual Gala

While our celebration was virtual on December 1, we felt a connection in giving hope to others, and raised a record-breaking $1.25 million to help those in need of Caron’s lifesaving treatment. THANK YOU to all of you who contributed to the success of this event!

Consider a year-end donation to contribute to the gala proceeds and donate online below or mail a check.
