Hope Takes Flight: Holiday Giving Event
Join us December 12th at Bryant Park Nola, CBD, for an evening where compassion takes center stage and hope truly takes flight. The Hope Takes Flight Holiday Giving Event is our annual celebration of community, connection, and the power of showing up for families navigating the unimaginable challenge of cancer.
This special night brings together supporters, partners, and friends to raise critical funding for in-home care support, mental-health resources, and direct relief for families across Louisiana. Every dollar given helps us provide comfort, dignity, and stability during the most overwhelming moments of a family’s journey.
Guests will enjoy festive drinks, delicious food, local vendors, raffle items, and heartfelt moments that honor the strength of caregivers and the legacy behind When Dragonflies Appear. As we look ahead to 2026, we invite you to celebrate with us, uplift families in need, and help hope take flight for those who need it most.
Together, we can change the way families experience care, support, and love during cancer.
