Sing for Hope Gala:
An American Songbook

Each year, Sing for Hope’s Gala raises awareness and support for our outreach programs that bring the healing power of the arts to communities in need.  The evening features performances by leading Sing for Hope Donor Artists from the Metropolitan Opera and Broadway, and conversation with renowned philanthropic and artistic leaders.  All proceeds support the charitable mission of Sing for Hope, which in the words of Sing for Hope Board Member Renée Fleming, “is dedicated to bringing the healing power of art to those who need it most.”
