DIPG is a rare brain tumor that affects 200-300 children in the U.S. each year. After diagnosis, these children are given only 3-9 months to live. The Cristian Rivera Foundation seeks to change that by funding pioneering research and clinical trials and supporting children and families who are facing a DIPG diagnosis. To date, the Cristian Rivera Foundation has donated well over 2.5 Million dollars to research and family support.
Our celebrity gala is an evening filled with high-profile attendees, moving stories and testimonials from DIPG families, inspirational speeches, and unique items and experiences to be auctioned off - all for a great cause. We’re ready to celebrate our progress, raise money for DIPG research, and help children and families in need.
The Cristian Rivera Foundation started after 4-year-old Cristian was diagnosed with DIPG and fought for 2 years before passing away from this horrible disease. His father John "Gungie" Rivera formed the Cristian Rivera Foundation in honor of his son and started a mission towards finding a cure so no other family had to experience what he did.
Join us for a night of hope and to spread DIPG awareness and save children’s lives.
