“On a Tuesday… The UnGala Gala” Announced for March 17, 2026

Experiential evening to spotlight amazing progress toward a cure for pediatric brain cancer and convene community, families, and medical leaders

(WEST PALM BEACH, FLA) – A new philanthropic experience will debut in Palm Beach County this spring with the announcement of “On a Tuesday… The UnGala Gala,” a new non-traditional gala scheduled for Tuesday, March 17, 2026

Designed as an immersive, experience-led evening rather than a formal seated event, the 2026 UnGala Gala will bring together affected families, professionals in the medical and research fields, and supporters of pediatric brain cancer initiatives for a night centered on progress, possibility, and community alignment.

The evening will serve as a Finish Line celebration, recognizing an internationally respected physician whose work is widely regarded as helping lead the race toward improved treatment outcomes and patient access in pediatric brain cancer.

A Different Kind of Philanthropic Gathering

Rather than following a traditional program format, the UnGala Gala is structured as a guided experience—one that unfolds through a series of intentional moments designed to honor families, illuminate the work underway, and acknowledge how close the field is to meaningful breakthroughs.

Details of the evening are being released selectively, with organizers noting that the experience is designed to evolve throughout the night, moving from reflection to connection to celebration.

“This isn’t a gala you attend,” says Valle. “It’s an experience you move through. One that honors why we’re here, who we’re fighting for, and how close we truly are to changing outcomes for children and families.”

Meet the Founder Evenings Planned in February

In advance of the March event, a series of “Meet the Founder” evenings will take place during the week of February 16, 2026, in Jupiter and Palm Beach. These smaller gatherings, hosted by Children’s Rainbow Fund 501(c)3, are intended to foster conversation and alignment among families impacted by pediatric brain cancer, professionals working in the field, and supporters interested in learning more about the initiative and its long-term vision.

The UnGala Gala is part of a broader project currently in development, and organizers are welcoming outreach from:
