Evening of Hope 2026

Please join us for an Evening of Hope to benefit the Biomedical Science Careers Program (BSCP) on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at the Fairmont Copley Plaza.

This year’s gala will commemorate 35 years of student achievement and discovery. As part of the celebration, we are thrilled to be honoring Regeneron co-founder, president, and chief scientific officer George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D.

Proceeds from this inspiring event allow us to offer BSCP’s life-changing programs—from student conferences and science symposia, to workshops, mentoring, and career fairs—at no cost to our students and fellows.

Thank you in advance for supporting the next generation of leaders in science.
