The gala starts on November 11, 2026.

The gala takes place at Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, New Jersey.

The organizer identifies individuals and families, people from pharmaceutical and related industries, and leadership among the audience.

It is most useful for pharmaceutical executives and philanthropy-minded leaders who want to be seen supporting Community Hope, since the evening honors Bristol Myers Squibb CEO Chris Boerner and the speaker list includes former and current pharma chiefs such as Robert A. Bradway and Joseph C. Papa. It offers little for someone seeking technical content or a working conference program, because this is a fundraising gala built around an award presentation.

Guests at charity galas in the pharmaceutical and finance circles usually wear black tie or formal cocktail attire, with tuxedos or dark suits and evening gowns or cocktail dresses.
