This year, the NF Hope Concerts are marking a significant milestone: fifteen years of concerts. We recently held an amazing, record-breaking concert in Las Vegas, and our upcoming 6th annual concert in Chicago promises to be just as exceptional. We have an exciting lineup of talent this year, and our mission is more important than ever!

In 2023, the NF Network launched Project Dream, a seed grant program designed to fund early-stage, high-potential NF research. We have already financed three promising projects, but the stakes are now even higher.

This year, all federal funding for NF research was eliminated, which threatens not only our momentum in scientific discovery but also the clinical trial infrastructure that families rely on.

This funding cut has deeply affected our NF Hope Concert® founder, Jeff Leibow. He shared, “My daughter has a tumor in her leg that is damaging the bone. Her doctors are exploring a clinical trial, but the future of those trials is now in jeopardy.”

In response to this challenge, Jeff has decided to allocate the funds raised during his live concert appeal to Project Dream.

“With your partnership, we can protect NF research and give children like my daughter a chance to keep dancing.” — Jeff Leibow

That’s why we are expanding Project Dream. With a goal of raising $250,000, we aim to fund two projects this year, build reserves for the future, and start providing direct support for trial sites.

Please come out and show your support on December 7. We will return to the amazing Madison Street Theater and promise to kick off the holiday season with a festive holiday show! Get your tickets here. Register for our silent auction here.
