Imagine More

A nationally recognized philanthropic event, the Imagine More Dinner gives us the chance to share the hope that novel research and innovative treatment brings to those facing the challenges of diseases, disorders, and injury to the nervous system.

The Imagine More Dinner is a catalyst for change. All proceeds from this event will directly support the Neuroscience Research Center, contributing to their pioneering advancements in neuroscience research. By participating, you're not just attending a dinner; you're becoming part of a movement to forge a brighter tomorrow.

Join us in 2025!

Registration for the 2025 Imagine More Dinner will be available in Fall 2024. Please join us for an evening to celebrate novel research and innovative treatments that bring hope to those facing diseases, disorders, and injuries to the nervous system.
