On Wednesday, April 26th, Band of Parents supporters came together at Marquee to help make the 2017 Evening of Hope the most successful gala in Band of Parents history. Donations totaled nearly $265,000. Because of that incredible generosity, Band of Parents could continue its mission: to fund a cure for neuroblastoma, using less toxic, targeted treatments. They were thrilled to honor Dr. Nai-Kong V. Cheung, Head of the Neuroblastoma Program and Enit A. Haupt Chair in Pediatric Oncology at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, for his groundbreaking research in neuroblastoma. Pediatric oncologist Dr. Kim Kramer of Sloan Kettering received the Jerome Tepperberg Award. They encouraged others to help expand this great event in 2018! There were many ways to help – such as spreading the word about Band of Parents to potential corporate sponsors, or chasing hot ticket items for the silent auction.
