The Cristian Rivera Foundation Celebrity Gala

NEW YORK – November 12, 2025 – The Cristian Rivera Foundation held its 16th Annual Celebrity Gala on November 12, 2025. The Cipriani hosted a stunning evening where some of New York City’s elite came together to raise money for a great cause. The foundation fights a devastating childhood disease, Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).

DIPG is an inoperable brain stem tumor. This disease is most common in children between the ages of 5 and 10. DIPG accounts for 10-15% of brain tumors in children. Every year, between 200 and 400 children will be diagnosed with this disease.
