The Grand Ballroom of Solaire Resort North, Quezon City, was transformed into an unforgettable evening of music, compassion, and hope on 17 May 2026, as the EPCALM Foundation held its benefit dinner-concert—The Hope Gala 2026. 

Following the success of the inaugural Hope Gala in 2025, the event brought together leading names in Philippine entertainment, generous philanthropists, and supporters to raise vital funds for adult leukemia patients and their families.

It was headlined by the incomparable Concert King, Martin Nievera, with special performances by the Concert Queen, Pops Fernandez, Vina Morales, and Jed Madela.  

The audience came for more than just great music. They came together for a noble cause—to bring hope and a fighting chance to adult leukemia patients and their families. Their presence, generosity, and support meant so much to the patients and loved ones who rely on EPCALM throughout their leukemia journey.
