Inaugural NYC Event Raises Nearly Half a Million Dollars to Support Narcolepsy Research, Awareness and Education
Wake Up Narcolepsy (WUN), a national leader in Narcolepsy advocacy, proudly hosted its inaugural Shadows to Light Gala in New York City on Friday evening, September 20, 2024. This landmark event, the first large-scale in-person gala dedicated to Narcolepsy awareness in the United States, raised $450,000. The funds will be instrumental in furthering Narcolepsy education and awareness, expanding supportive resources for individuals and their families and accelerating the development of improved treatments and, ultimately, a cure. Through the collective efforts of dedicated supporters and the broader community, Wake Up Narcolepsy is one step closer to bringing Narcolepsy out of the shadows and into the light.
The event brought together influential members of the Narcolepsy community, including patients, advocates, healthcare professionals and researchers, to shed light on this often-misunderstood sleep disorder, help people to recognize the signs and symptoms and to support ongoing efforts for research and advocacy.
