This special event brings together leaders in the community, medicine, military, research, and philanthropy to celebrate the transformative work being done at the Marcus Institute for Brain Health —and to support the future of brain health care for those who have sacrificed so much.
Our signature fundraising event honors the the strength, resilience, and courage of our nation’s heroes living with traumatic brain injuries and the invisible wounds of service.
At MIBH, our mission is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care for those who have sustained mild to moderate TBIs, often accompanied by psychological health challenges like PTSD, anxiety, or depression. We serve those who have served us; combining world-class medical expertise with integrative, person-centered care that supports healing in body, mind, and spirit.

The Hope for Heroes Gala shines a light on the inspiring journeys of our patients and the critical importance of long-term recovery. It is a night to honor their courage, amplify their voices, and bring our community together in shared commitment to their care and well-being.
Your support makes this possible. Past sponsors have played a vital role in expanding access to our care, supporting family education, and building awareness of brain health challenges facing our nation’s heroes. We are deeply grateful for that generosity and hope you will join us again this year.
Please consider becoming a sponsor of the Hope for Heroes Gala. Together, we can ensure that Veterans and first responders receive the hope, healing, and help they so greatly deserve.
