The Legacy Castle, Pompton Plains, NJ
The Sparkle of Hope gala was founded in 1997 by pharmaceutical icon Fred Hassan and has raised $14 million in support of Community Hope. Now in its 23rd year, this signature event brings together the pharmaceutical industry, its leaders and business partners to ensure our nonprofit’s vital support services that complement pharmaceutical advancements in mental health treatment. In 2017, Founding Chair Hassan turned over leadership of the event to Brent Saunders, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Allergan plc. Under Brent Saunders’ leadership, the gala set yet another record in 2018 with nearly $1.6 million raised and 850 attendees.
A Special Thank You to our Sponsors!
