About the Event:
The Reason to Hope Gala is our annual fundraising event that brings together corporate and philanthropic leadership from all around the state of Vermont to support the Alzheimer's Association mission and our local chapter. Each year the event honors a Community/Corporate Champion and an Individual/Family Champion who are making a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. It is an evening of celebration of successes, hope for the future of a world without Alzheimer's and other dementia, and a little sparkle, too!
Collectively, The Reason to Hope Galas have raised over $1.1 million to fund crucial programs and services to help Vermonters living with dementia and their caregivers, expand our advocacy efforts on the federal and state level, plus invest in cutting-edge research worldwide.
The 2026 will be held on April 30 at the beautiful Farmhouse at Sunset Pond on the grounds of The Essex Resort & Spa in Essex VT. Registration for the event will begin soon.
