Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor · Boston, MA

September 19, 2026

Something special is coming to Boston this September.

The Pheo Para Alliance’s Circle of Hope Gala returns for an unforgettable weekend — and this year, we’re pulling out all the stops.

Join us for an afternoon educational session bringing the latest in PPGL care directly to our community, followed by an evening of celebration, inspiration, and connection that you will carry with you long after the night ends.

This year’s Gala will honor an extraordinary patient, Jonathan Pascual, whose courage and resilience embody everything the PPGL community stands for. We will also welcome a very special guest speaker, Bethel Stevens— a caregiver who turned her lived experience into a powerful story. You won’t want to miss this incredible event!

This is a weekend for patients, caregivers, clinicians, and advocates to come together — to celebrate how far we’ve come and recommit to the work still ahead.
