2017 Recap:

 

On June 13, 2017, 750 peopled gathered at the beautiful Waldorf Astoria in NYC to go ALL IN for One Focus, One Family, and One Future. Together we raised over $2.2 million at our 11th Annual Heroes, Heart, and Hope Gala chaired by Scott Stackman.  It was an extraordinary evening honoring Michael Fisch and celebrating the incredible featured athletes – Katie Kelly and Michellie Jones, Lance Weir, and Chase Merriweather. During this impactful evening, we honored our first Howard and Gail Stackman – Heroes, Heart and Hope Legacy Award winner, Martin and Julie Franklin and their children Annabel, Michael, Sam, and Robbie.

The generosity of our amazing sponsors, donors, guests, and table captains made the difference. Thank you to everyone who came to support. Together, we will transform lives and continue to support children, adults, and injured veterans through sport.
