The 15th Annual Cristian Rivera Foundation Celebrity Gala on November 12th was a star-studded event to raise awareness for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Hosted by Kenan Thomson, Darlene Rodrigez, and Malik Yoba, the gala featured a red carpet reception, award ceremony, and auctions to raise funds for research, clinical trials, and support for families affected by DIPG. Honorees included Gleyber Torres, Susan Lacher, and Rafael and Meiling Toro for their dedication to the community. Ryan Hodgson, father of Braylon Hodgson who passed away from DIPG, will be receiving the Golden Wings Recognition in his son’s honor. The foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for this rare disease, with the ultimate goal of creating awareness and providing support to those affected. The gala showcases the commitment of celebrities, companies, and the public in supporting the cause for another 15 years. The Cristian Rivera Foundation was established in 2009 in honor of Cristian Rivera, who was diagnosed with DIPG at a young age. By continuing to tell the stories of those affected by DIPG, the foundation remains dedicated to finding a cure and supporting families through their journey.
