PNOC Foundation to Host 2026 Gratitude Gala in San Francisco to Advance Pediatric Brain Cancer Research
The November 14 gala at the Julia Morgan Ballroom will fund the Lose No Child campaign's push for pediatric brain cancer breakthroughs
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, August 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- PNOC Foundation, the international fundraising partner for the Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC), will host its signature Gratitude Gala on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at the Julia Morgan Ballroom at the Merchants Exchange Building in San Francisco. This year’s theme for the evening is James Bond: License to Give, bringing together researchers, clinicians, patient families, and philanthropic community members united by a single mission: to lose no child to brain cancer.
Proceeds from the evening will directly support the Lose No Child campaign, a $50 million, five-year effort to compress a decade's worth of pediatric brain cancer research gains into five years. Funds raised will accelerate clinical trial development, expand global access to innovative therapies, and advance predictive biomarker research for children and young adults fighting brain tumors.
As PNOC’s signature event and most important fundraiser of the year, the Gratitude Gala is where generosity fuels the research that saves lives. Offering guests an elevated gala experience featuring exceptional wines from Napa Valley and Sonoma, the Gratitude Gala has quickly earned a reputation as one of San Francisco’s most inspiring and feel-good nights of the year.
Last year's Gratitude Gala raised $840,000, drawing 185 guests, including PNOC Foundation co-founders Allyn and Bruce Campbell, physicians from UCSF's Benioff Children's Hospital, and gala honoree Isabella Strahan, who shared her experience as a patient. The 2026 Gala aims to build on that momentum as the campaign works toward its five-year, $50 million goal.
"Your support helps create impact," said Bruce Campbell, PNOC Foundation Co-Founder. "It brings us closer to new trials, new discoveries, and new hope for children and their families everywhere."
Sponsorship and ticket information for the 2026 Gratitude Gala, as well as other ways to give, are available on the PNOC Foundation website.
