2025 has already been a transformative year for The GEM Project. Through our two major fundraising events, our community came together with more heart, energy, and generosity than ever before—allowing us to raise double what we raised last year.

This milestone means real, tangible support for families navigating pediatric cancer. In 2025, we are proud to share that over half of the funds raised will be donated directly to integrative medicine programs, helping make services like acupuncture, massage, mind-body support, and family-centered care more accessible at Masonic Children’s Hospital and beyond.

The remaining funds will fuel a new initiative we are deeply passionate about: GEM Family Care Plans. These plans will provide holistic, personalized support for families—from wellness resources, to meal and care coordination, to integrative healing tools that help parents and children feel supported during the most challenging moments of their lives.

None of this would be possible without the people and partners who chose to stand with us. A heartfelt thank-you to our 2025 event sponsors, whose generosity, collaboration, and belief in our mission helped bring these events to life:
