Welcome. We’re glad you’re here.
The Saddle Up For Hope Gala brings our community together for a powerful night of connection, generosity, and impact. Hosted by The United Creed, this event supports families facing cancer while offering an unforgettable experience filled with purpose and celebration.
This is more than a gala.
It’s a shared commitment to hope.
Why This Night Matters
The United Creed was founded on a simple belief. No one should fight cancer alone.
Founded by cancer survivor Justin Hughes, The United Creed exists to support families in need, fund access to advanced treatment options, and restore dignity to the healing journey.
When you attend this gala, you stand with families who need real help and real hope.
*Seats are limited and this evening will sell out. Join us for a night where generosity meets celebration and unity moves us forward. Thank you for standing with The United Creed Cancer Foundation.
