Sorrenti, MD Thank you to all who supported the 2026 Hope & Healing Celebration. For those who attended the April 10 event—thank you for making it such a fun, fantastic, and successful evening! We are pleased to share that, thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors, donors, and attendees, we raised an outstanding $1.5M in support of UMass Memorial Health. Of that total, $290,000 was raised through Fund-a-Need and will directly benefit our Children's Medical Center. We are deeply grateful for your support and look forward to seeing you at next year's Hope & Healing Celebration on Friday, April 9, 2027.
