The 6th Annual Taste of Hope Charlotte is a premier gala hosted by the American Cancer Society for our vision of ending cancer as we know it, for everyone.
Join us for our ‘foodie-fundraiser’, to celebrate cancer survivors, enjoy a chef’s-curated menu, live entertainment and witness the emotion of making an impact for people with cancer and their families.
2025 was an unforgettable evening attaining just shy of $600,000 for our mission. And who could have guessed chanting for #222 paddle to continue her efforts in overtaking the ballroom in the Last Hero Standing? The generosity of our sponsors, donors, Executive Leadership Committee, GenNow Network CLT Chapter, volunteers and the 400+ guests that attended “A Night in the Mediterranean” witnessed a magical evening.
Our ‘Chef’s-inspired’ gala features an interactive cocktail reception with silent auction, jewelry pull, and music followed by a three-course sit-down dinner presentation.
The live auction and mission appeal will certainly be heart-warming and lively. The Mission Paddle Raise will be restricted to general cancer research, and our mission moment speaker, Sindy Wylie will certainly showcase how important it is for our community to support cancer research.
Thank you all who attended, donated and enjoyed the evening’s program. We look forward to seeing you on October 3rd, this year.
Please enjoy our 2025 gala recap video.
Welcome to the Annual Taste of Hope Charlotte Gala!
On behalf of our Executive Leadership Committee and staff of the American Cancer Society, we invite you to join us to raise awareness and resources in the fight against cancer.
How many of us know someone, or have a loved one who has been impacted by cancer? It’s true for all of us who pour our energies into this amazing Gala…and we know it’s true for most of you. We are proud to share this evening of fantastic food, new and treasured friendships, intentional purpose, deep meaning and valued connections.
This Gala is unique from the moment you walk in the door.
We begin with our “why”. We recognize our survivors, whose moving journeys as cancer warriors and supporters cement the reason this event is so important to all of us in this community. When you leave, you know why this matters.
Special thanks to all of our corporate partners, and our table sponsors, who have vision and purpose…and step up to make this inspirational night possible. Your commitment helps advance our mission to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support, to ensure everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
Thank you!
This year’s Mission Moment Paddle Raise will be restricted to general cancer research and our featured speaker will be Sindy Wylie. Sindy has an amazing story to share with a nod to how cancer research has changed over 40 years based on her own experience.
