"Where Cheers to Hope is about raising a glass together in restaurants across Charlotte, The Hope Hour Gala is about pausing to reflect on our impact this year, the babies who have been lost, and our efforts to blaze a trail of greater support in the years to come," said Ally Shaw, Executive Director and mother to Gemma Hope Shaw, whom the organization is named after. "There are so many hospitals in need of resources to support grieving families. It breaks my heart to see them struggle — and it makes me determined to do something about it."
