The 2026 Cure VCP Disease Celebration will be here before we know it and we wanted to give you an idea of what to expect. In this guide you'll find everything you need to know to plan your evening with us!
Event Basics
When: Saturday, July 25, 2026
Doors Open: 5:00 PM
Bar Opens: 5:30 PM
Food Available: 5:45 PM
Event Officially Ends (Bar closes) Time: 9:30 PM
Event space is indoors and air conditioned!
Parking & Transportation
Parking at 42 West is limited, so we encourage carpooling or rideshare. We do have a limited number of accessible parking spots on site, and we will prioritize the lot for guests with accessibility needs. An attendant will be available to assist with disembarking for wheelchair users.
We will also have a complimentary round-trip shuttle running between the Hyatt Centric Midtown Atlanta and the venue. The shuttle is wheelchair accessible. [Shuttle departure times TBD — we'll update this page as details are confirmed.]
Attire: We encourage you to dress up in Southern Chic. What the heck is that?? Southern chic is wearing a tailored dress or bow tie. Southern style is seersucker and gingham, eyelet and linen, and loving your signature scent. Southern style is dressing up your school colors. Southern style is channeling the best of the South—the culture, the people, the history—and wearing your look with pride. But most importantly, be comfortable, but no jean shorts!!
WHY A CELEBRATION?
There is no better way to spread awareness and raise funds than by bringing together a community of individuals who are ready to fight and party with a purpose. The money we raise from the Celebration will support funding important research projects and critical resources that are important for VCP disease patients around the world. Bringing us together as a community to celebrate reminds us that we are in this fight together!
