Gray for Glioblastoma is a 501(c)3 with a two fold mission: to raise funds for vital research and to raise awareness about glioblastoma multiforme, a devastating brain cancer that lacks a cure and effective treatments. The inspiration behind the organization stems from the founders father being diagnosed with this disease in 2021. Witnessing the heartbreaking reality of a lack of resources and support available for glioblastoma patients and their families, she recognized the urgent need to bridge the gap in awareness and funding, especially considering that brain cancer receives only 2% of all cancer research funding and GFG was born!
As a result of this program, we hosted our first annual VIP event at Vivrelle showroom in NYC. The event welcomed 200+ guests and featured an open bar for guests with custom cocktails sponsored by Poppi, Olipop, Liber & Co, Good Vodka, Wolferr Wine, Spritz Society and Casamigos.
