Grace Centers of Hope hosts its annual Night of Hope gala from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8, 2024 at the Royal Park Hotel, 600 E. University Dr. in Rochester. This casual yet stylish event will raise funds and awareness for the nonprofit’s Children’s Program, which provides a nurturing environment for children while parents complete Grace Center of Hope’s life-changing programs.

The event features a silent auction, two raffles with prizes including a $2,000 shopping spree and a dream vacation package, dancing and entertainment, and cocktail reception with hors d’oeuvres followed by a fabulous dinner. A short program hosted by FOX2 Anchor Roop Raj will feature heartfelt stories about families whose lives have positively changed thanks to Grace Centers of Hope. New for 2024, the Night of Hope event will also feature a performance from Anthony Grupido, a magician who visits over 200 schools a year and offers a message about mental health, resilience, and suicide prevention.

All proceeds from the Night of Hope fundraiser will benefit the Children’s Program at GCH.

Night of Hope tickets are $125 each and can be purchased online at www.gracecentersofhope.org.
