An Unforgettable Night For Hope

Kadesha Washington

The stage was set for an extraordinary evening at The Glasshouse (NYC) on Wednesday, November 15, 2023 for our biggest fundraiser of the year. Over 800 guests gathered for the Hope & Heroes Annual Gala – Wall Street’s Got Talent to honor individuals and companies committed to eradicating pediatric cancer and support the work of Hope & Heroes.

The Legacy of Hope Award was presented to Will Fuller, CEO of Transamerica. We thank Will for his support of our cause and for being an ambassador of hope for those in need.

Other highlights from the evening included inspiring words from our Patient Ambassadors Hank Ford, Melina Mazzie, and Aaron Prince,
a thrilling talent competition, and an exciting live auction.
