Welcome Welcome to the 29th Annual Sparkle of Hope Gala!
Congratulations to the 2025 Honoree Will Lewis Chairman and CEO of Insmed SPENCER SAVINGS BANK A PROUD SUPPORTER OF COMMUNITY HOPE
It is a privilege to welcome you to the 29th Annual Sparkle of Hope Gala. Community Hope is deeply grateful for your partnership and continued commitment to advancing our mission of restoring hope to individuals confronting mental illness, homelessness, and poverty. This evening, we gather to recognize the profound impact of Community Hope’s work and to honor the individuals whose
lives have been transformed through our programs. For 40 years, Community Hope has remained at the forefront of addressing the mental health needs of New Jersey’s most vulnerable residents. What began as a single supportive home for six individuals with serious mental illness has grown into the state’s largest nonprofit organization serving homeless veterans, veteran families, and adults facing mental health challenges. Across seven programs and 66 units of affordable housing, our multidisciplinary teams provide individualized support to help each person overcome the circumstances that led to their homelessness. Your continued generosity and engagement make this vital work possible. The Sparkle of Hope Gala was established in 1997 by Fred Hassan, former Chief Executive Officer of Schering-Plough, Pharmacia, and Upjohn, to align advances in pharmaceutical innovation with the delivery of community-based mental health services. Over the past 29 years, the Gala has raised more than $24 million in support of Community Hope, reflecting the sustained commitment and leadership of the life sciences community. As the demand for our services continues to grow, Community Hope remains steadfast in its dedication to providing high-quality care and permanent housing solutions for those in need. The growing national awareness surrounding mental health underscores the importance of our mission and the collective responsibility we share in addressing these challenges. On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, and all those we serve, thank you for joining us this evening and for your enduring partnership. Your support ensures that Community Hope can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless individuals and families across New Jersey.
