NF HOPE

The NF Hope® Concerts have entertained audiences in Las Vegas, Chicago and New York City since 2011. The concert brings has brought together some of the best that the Great White Way, the Las Vegas Strip and beyond have to offer, all while raising awareness and over $1.5 million for those living with Neurofibromatosis (NF). 

Called “One of the great afternoons in Las Vegas Entertainment” by radio personality, Chet Buchanan, and touted as having “…an extraordinary line-up of Vegas performers…” by the late Robin Leach, this is one unforgettable afternoon of music you don’t want to miss! 

The concert has welcomed incredible talent to our “stage” including Tony Award winner and Disney Legend Lea Salonga, ‘The Voice of Broadway’ Betty Buckley, Grammy Award winning band All-4-One, local Vegas legend Clint Holmes, American Idol finalists Jasmine Trias and Lou Gazzara, AGT finalist Daniel Emmett, Vegas superstars Tymara Walker, Ashley Fuller, Ruby Lewis, The Bronx Wanderers, Human Nature and many more. 

#NFStrong Events

Events take place in communities nationwide. These inspiring events create strong bonds that build a supportive NF community. The goal of these strong communities is to rally together and become one great voice in finding effective treatments and an eventual cure for NF. The events are a great way to involve family and friends, meet others who are affected by NF, while raising awareness of this disorder and to create funding for NF research.Take your first strong stride towards a cure by finding, registering, and then fundraising for an event near you!

Host a Fundraising Event

#NFStrong events are an excellent way to build a local NF community, raise money to fund research and to spread NF awareness. We’re always looking for individuals who share our passion and would like to get involved to do more to help organize events like walks, runs, golf tournaments, food events, concerts, or galas. Virtually any hobby or interest you share with others can be turned into a fundraising event, and we can help you do it! If you are looking to host your own #NFStrong event, call or email our event coordinator.
