Follow the yellow brick road to an enchanted evening of hope, joy, and generosity at the 39th Annual Night of Wine and Roses Gala, themed "There’s No Place Like Hope." This year’s event will celebrate the spirit of courage, heart, and innovation on Friday, May 9, 2025, at The Palace at Somerset Park.
Co-chaired by Dr. Michael and Marlene Nissenblatt, the gala will shine a light on the important work of the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodges, which critically supports cancer patients and their families. Funds raised will help further the Society’s efforts in research, treatment access, prevention, and education.
Wine & Roses has a 39-year history of uniting our community to honor champions of innovation, whose inspiration comes from the heart and whose courage is reflected by the patients they serve. Last year, the event raised an incredible $530,000 to support the Society's life-saving programs and services.
This magical evening will feature live and silent auctions, a 90-minute cocktail hour, a celebratory dinner, and entertainment including magicians and professional bands.
We are proud to recognize this year’s honorees:
- Drs. Louis and Judith Amorosa – 2025 Medical Honorees
- The Cheng Family – Eighth Annual Judith A. Hoffman Humanitarian Awardees
Funds raised at the gala will support the Society’s groundbreaking work, which has contributed to a 34% decrease in cancer mortality rates since 1991, saving over 4.5 million lives. The ACS remains committed to fighting for better outcomes for every cancer, every life.
