Join us as we follow the yellow brick road to an enchanted evening of hope, joy, and generosity at the 39th Annual Night of Wine and Roses Gala, This years gala themed, “There’s No Place Like Hope” celebrates the spirit of courage, heart and innovation on Friday, May 9, 2025 at the Palace at Somerset Park. Co-chaired by Dr. & Mrs. Michael and Marlene Nissenblatt, we’re shining a light on the important work of the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodges and dedication to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Wine & Roses has a 39 year history of uniting our community to honor champions of innovation whose inspiration comes from the heart and whose courage is reflected by the patients they serve. 

In the past six years, Night of Wine and Roses has raised over  $2.5 million to support the American Cancer Society’s mission to save lives, celebrate lives, and lead the fight for a world without cancer. It is one of New Jersey’s premier fundraising events with national notoriety.

The American Cancer Society is the nationwide, community-based, voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer, through research, education, advocacy, and service.

Progress against cancer has triggered a 34% decline in U.S. deaths over the past two decades, which equates to 4.5 million fewer cancer deaths. But we can’t stop there.
