The Children's Inn at NIH 2026 An Evening for Hope Gala

The Gala supports the mission of The Inn to provide “A Place Like Home” to children, teens, and young adults with rare and serious diseases whose best hope for a diagnosis or treatment is an NIH clinical research study. An Evening for Hope brings together leaders and supporters from across the region to celebrate The Inn’s role as a partner in hope and discovery alongside the NIH and its groundbreaking work. 

The evening features an expanded cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, a formal dinner and a music-filled after-party. Proceeds help ensure families can stay at The Inn free of charge while participating in clinical research that advances treatments and improves health worldwide.
