An Evening of Innovation and Inspiration is an annual celebrity gala held on behalf of the Alfred Mann Foundation. Its goal is to raise funding for research dedicated to the advancement of medical technologies that offer hope to people suffering from debilitating medical conditions. Driven by a team of leading engineers, doctors, and scientists, AMF’s innovations have been successful in improving the health and quality of life of thousands of patients. AMF’s ultimate goal is to reach beyond the limits of today’s medicine and realize impossible dreams: that the blind may see, the deaf may hear, and the paralyzed may walk again.
