Stand Together Gala: A Special 10-Year Tribute

October 19, 2025 | Whiskey Kitchen, Raleigh, NC

Honoring 10 Years of Impact. Recommitting to the Journey Ahead.

This October, we invite you to a powerful evening that marks a milestone in our story—10 years since the accident that sparked the vision for NextStep Raleigh, and 7 years of delivering transformative therapy to individuals living with paralysis.

The Stand Together Gala is more than a celebration. It’s a gathering of a community determined to push boundaries, support recovery, and create a future full of possibilities.


What Awaits You

  • Five of Raleigh’s top chefs featured in an exclusive culinary showcase

  • Handcrafted cocktails from Tito's Vodka, Sulter's Gin, and Kill Devil Rum

  • A powerful tribute to those who’ve inspired this journey

  • Stories of resilience and recovery from the NextStep community


Why This Year Matters

This second 2025 Gala isn't a formality—it’s a purposeful return. After last year’s event was rescheduled due to Hurricane Helene, we’re back with clarity, passion, and momentum. We gather not just to remember how far we’ve come, but to recommit to the work ahead.

Since opening in 2018, NextStep Raleigh has helped hundreds of individuals with paralysis pursue recovery, independence, and improved quality of life through cutting-edge, research-backed activity-based therapy.


Tickets & Sponsorships Coming Soon

Details on ticket sales and sponsorship packages will be released shortly. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this unforgettable evening.

Whether you’ve supported us from the beginning or are new to the mission—thank you. You make this possible.
