THE CAUSE
BRAIN CANCER RESEARCH
Thanks to funds raised through the A Brilliant Night event, brain cancer researchers at The Neuro have made transformational discoveries that have literally changed the course of brain cancer research around the world.
Continued support from corporations, foundations, and private donors has enabled the brain cancer research program at The Neuro to leverage further support, including from provincial and federal funding agencies. It has allowed them to get ambitious and innovative research off the ground, to attract the most outstanding recruits in the field, and, most importantly, to consider new therapeutics for patients every step along the way.
And all of this was possible because of sponsors like you.

THE EVENT
A MONTREAL EVENING NOT TO BE MISSED
Ten years ago, A Brilliant Night was founded by a group of volunteers, each of whom has been personally impacted by brain cancer and are determined to see patients live longer and avoid the suffering of this devastating disease.
In the first nine years, A Brilliant Night raised $8,300,000 net, 100% of which was donated to research at The Neuro.
Through an educational, emotional, and immersive experience, A Brilliant Night’s mission is to educate and raise awareness for brain cancer and the importance of the research taking place at The Neuro.
In celebration of our tenth year, the 2024 event will offer the inspiring experience that our A Brilliant Night guests have come to expect. Storytelling, video and entertainment have all become hallmark elements contributing to the success of the event. The evening will conclude with cocktails.
THE BENEFITS
Exposure to the A Brilliant Night community includes industry leaders, respected physicians, lawyers, developers, tech innovators and leading professionals from their early 30s onward from both the anglophone and francophone communities through email, social media, and an in-person event.
An affiliation with A Brilliant Night offers our partners a corporate image that is world-class, high-tech, forward-thinking, and at the forefront of innovation.
