We invite you to Show Up for Patients with NYSCF on October 11, 2022 at 6:00 PM ET. We will pay tribute to the patients and caregivers who inspire our research every day.
Please join us in celebrating our 2022 Stem Cell Heroes who are transforming the lives of patients through their extraordinary contributions to science, medicine, and media.
Your generous Gala support will directly advance our research toward the clinic for the major diseases of our time, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, rare diseases, autism, PTSD, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer, and more.
Celebrating Patient Heroes
We invite you to make your contribution in honor or memory of a special patient or caregiver in your life. During the dinner and virtual program, we will proudly recognize your loved one on our digital “Patient Heroes Wall” of e-journal tributes and a scrolling list of all honorees’ names.
