Fueling Hope — A Golden Hour Gala

    Corporate Sponsorship

    Partner with RISE for LCHAD to fuel research, elevate awareness, and make a measurable impact at our inaugural gala.

    Why This Matters

    LCHAD is a rare, life-threatening metabolic disorder affecting approximately 2,000 individuals in the U.S. Unfortunately, our daughter Jillian is one of them.

    RISE for LCHAD was founded in honor of Jillian, whose strength drives our mission to accelerate research and improve outcomes. Rare shouldn't mean overlooked.

    Fueling Hope is more than a gala — it is an awareness platform, a caregiver tribute, and a call to action to invest in medical research and pharmaceutical development.

    Rising for Research

    RISE for LCHAD supports research led by Dr. Jerry Vockley, a world-renowned metabolic specialist, at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Your generous support would fund:

    Next-generation FAOD therapy improving current treatment limitations

    Breakthrough mitochondrial research improving cellular energy

    Gene therapy aimed at correcting the underlying genetic defect

    Why Sponsor Fueling Hope

    Increase awareness of a life-threatening rare disease and elevate the voices of families and caregivers
    Connect with community-driven professionals and executive-level leaders
    Accelerate research with real clinical impact for LCHAD patients
