The Journey of Hope Gala is an elegant evening to celebrate New York’s brain injury community and honor those who have made outstanding contributions in the field of brain injury.

Join us on Thursday, November 13 at the sophisticated Manhattan Penthouse in Union Square (80 Fifth Avenue, E 14th St) for an elegant evening celebrating New York’s brain injury community. The gala, taking place from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, will feature exquisite hors d’oeuvres, cocktails, live music, a raffle auction, and surprise events throughout the evening, all in support of the vital programs and services the association provides for the brain injury community.

Leading up to the gala, consider bidding on two exclusive, online items: an unforgettable one-week stay at Casa Mojo, a stunning waterfront retreat in Cape Coral, Florida. Gather your favorite people and soak in the sunshine, serenity, and southern exposure sunsets, and the opportunity to bring home a piece of New York Islanders pride with an autographed Adam Pelech jersey, a must-have for any hockey fan or collector. Learn more about both items and bid here. Winners will be announced at the Journey of Hope Gala, but you do not need to be present to win.
