Our 6th Annual Glitter Gala is moving to October 1st, 2022, at an all-new venue - The Tech Interactive in San Jose, CA! We have some amazing surprises in store for you this coming year, and we can hardly wait!

This past year, we shared a message of hope as we heard from Dr. Nick Vitanza, sharing some of the amazing breakthroughs that are happening now for our youngest warriors. Dr. Vitanza also shared how important and unique Unravel Funding is to his research.

"We are making progress. With pediatric brain tumors, I think within the next 10 years we are going to be curing diseases like DIPG that haven't had a cure since they were first described. It's impossible to overstate how much you all matter to pediatric research. Unravel is filling the gaps and supporting this work and progress."

-Dr. Nick Vitanza

This year, Dr. Vitanza will be back to share what progress and opportunities the $645,000 in funds that Unravel was able to give his lab in 2021, because of your support! We are also so excited to introduce a new researcher and beneficiary to Unravel this year, Dr. David R. Freyer, DO, MS - Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, Medicine, and Population and Public Health Sciences at USC.

EVERY dollar donated will be matched this year up to $250,000!!!
