The Evening of Hope planning committee anticipates over 700 people will attend the event featuring silent and voice auctions, dinner, speakers and dancing.
The 21th will feature special guest speaker, Emmy-winning CNN anchor, Suzanne Malveaux. Malveaux will share how ALS has personally touched her and her family, and specifically, how the disease has affected her mother, Myrna Malveaux, who has battled ALS for over two years. In July of 2013, Suzanne featured a special series on CNN to draw attention to the debilitating effects of the disease and share her family’s personal battle.
The Evening of Hope was the brainchild of Jeff Kaufman, a former partner of GRGB, who succumbed to ALS in March 2010.
