2025 Rose Gala Aims to Shine Light on Rare Diseases Through Philanthropy and Star Power

The 2025 Rose Gala, an event organized by the To Cure A Rose Foundation, is gearing up to be a pivotal moment in the ongoing battle against rare diseases. Scheduled to take place on August 9 at the Omni Barton Creek Resort in Texas Hill Country, the gala promises to blend philanthropy with the allure of star power to foster hope and healing for children and families affected by rare diseases.

Highlighting the evening's activities, Trey Morris of Morris Auctioneers will lend his expertise as the auctioneer for the live auction segment, a key component of the gala's fundraising efforts. The event will also pay tribute to Dr. Z. Leah Harris, Chair of Pediatrics at Dell Medical School, by presenting her with the 2025 Patient First Impact Leadership Award. This accolade recognizes Dr. Harris's unwavering dedication to pediatric care and her contributions to rare disease research.

Entertainment will be provided by Casey McPherson, the founder of To Cure A Rose Foundation and lead singer of Alpha Rev, whose music embodies the foundation's mission. The gala, emceed by Lauren Petrowski of Good Day Austin and Spotlight ATX on KVUE, will feature a cocktail reception, silent and live auctions, and a Mission Paddle Raise, all aimed at supporting genetic treatments for children with rare diseases.
