The event celebrated the impact of scientific collaboration and the lives transformed by cutting-edge research. Thanks to the generosity of attendees, an impressive $1 million was raised. Jessica Rossman and Gordon Bethune co-chaired the evening, and a standout moment of the event was a speech by Sherry Diers, RN, and David Gonzales, RN, the co-hosts of HBRF's monthly podcast Hopeful News Network. They shared both their personal and clinical experiences working with HBRF patients, offering a heartfelt glimpse into the impact of their work. The event concluded with the highly anticipated jewelry pull, during which guests had the chance to purchase a sterling silver necklace featuring the Hope scripted logo by Markle Jewelers. With delicious food and great company, the evening was truly unforgettable.
