Our Fundraising Gala, An Evening of Hope & Possibility, took place on May 15 at Granite Links Golf Club, and it was aMAYzing! Hundreds of May Institute donors, corporate sponsors, families, staff, business partners, and friends packed the room to celebrate hope, possibility, and the innovation taking place across the organization. Spirits were high, guests were generous, and the air was filled with happy chatter and laughter. Big thanks to Dr. Mark Hauser, our 2024 President's Award recipient, Tom Best, our auctioneer and MC, and our featured speaker, Dr. PJ Simone. And we are deeply grateful for such an incredible community of supporters who believe deeply in May’s mission. It was truly a night to remember. Thank you to all who contributed, both in the room and online, to the support and innovation of May Institute. We could not do it without you.
