1st Annual C3P-Go Gala Raises Hundreds of Thousands for Groundbreaking Research

The giving spirit was on full display on a night that surpassed even our most optimistic hopes and dreams. We are so incredibly excited and grateful to announce that thanks to our global community, the first annual C3P-Go Gala in Houston raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to help fund our research into finding a cure for Jordan’s Syndrome.

In all, $365,000 was raised, which will directly support the groundbreaking research that may bring answers for our children and potentially millions more. The event was organized by the Huber family, or Team Huber, as they are affectionately known. Their two-year-old son Hutton was diagnosed with Jordan’s Syndrome.

Attendees bid on everything from timeless sports memorabilia to sparkling jewelry in a silent auction. There were games and raffles aplenty. Inside the ballroom, we kicked off the evening’s festivities with a warm welcome from our lovely MC, KHOU meteorologist Chita Craft.

A live auction was held, where partygoers anted up for five-star getaways and more. One of our researchers, Dr. Ghayda Mirzaa, explained the potential behind the project, examining how Jordan’s Syndrome (a newly-discovered mutation in the gene PPP2R5D) is linked to autism, intellectual disability, Alzheimer’s and cancer.

In an inspiring moment for all, Jordan’s Guardian Angels co-founder Joe Lang was joined on stage by several of our families as he spoke to the audience about the need to help. What happened next was nothing short of stunning.

Our live auctioneer asked those in attendance to consider making a charitable donation – simply in the spirit of generosity. The response was as immediate as it was overwhelming, as dozens raised their paddles to contribute to our mission. By the time it was all said and done, we’d far exceeded our goal for the evening.

“

“As I sat by the stage admiring all the clapping hands and the loving eyes fixated on our children, it became very clear that there is nowhere else I would rather be,” said parent Carole Backhos. “If Jordan’s Syndrome wasn’t part of our lives, what could I possibly be doing at that exact moment that would have had any sense of achievement and belonging? [I am] thankful every day for the meaningful life this journey has put us on.”

Internationally-known performance painter Michael Israel thrilled the crowd, turning blank canvases into beautiful art in a matter of minutes – a spectacular way to cap a night that we won’t soon forget.
