Sports Celebs, a Rocking Band and a Great Cause!
You're Invited...
Join us at the American Cancer Society’s most distinguished gala in South Jersey, the Hope Gala. The event will be held on April 12th, 2019 and promises to be a one-of-a-kind evening, featuring great food, live music, dancing, a spectacular auction, and a focus on Philly sports!
In addition to hundreds of successful professionals and distinguished honorees, this year’s event will give you the opportunity to brush elbows with local area sports personalities and bid on auction items that cover the gamut of Philly teams.
Things you should know:
- Our very distinguished Master of Ceremonies is none other than Vince Papale, former Philadelphia Eagles player and the inspiration behind the Disney movie “Invincible.” He will be providing the evening’s play by play and mingling with guests.
- As always, we’ll be honoring several great leaders who have given time and talent to raise awareness and get funding for the American Cancer Society (ACS). Go to our Honoree page to learn more about how these individuals are helping to finish the fight against cancer.
- You’ll be given the chance to join in the fight through this year’s Hands Up for Hope with a special focus on providing access to care for patients.
This can’t miss event will also feature Philly’s original horn party dance band, Jellyroll. Complete with singers, horns and the area’s tightest rhythm section, Jellyroll has won over audiences from Madison Square Garden in New York City to the White House in Washington, D.C. High energy, elegance and a repertoire that includes everything from the old school classics to the newest top 40 hits, are just some of the reasons why Jellyroll has been recognized by The Philadelphia Inquirer as one of the “best Philadelphia party bands.”
The mission of the Gala is to support those who have been touched by cancer and their caregivers by raising funds for a variety of ACS patient programs and services. We are very proud of what we have achieved, raising nearly $1.5 million over the past seven years!
Get in the game and support this year’s event!
