Annual Phoenix Knuckle Ball – 2019

November 8th, 2019 – 6:30PM

The Joe Niekro Foundation invites you to join us in 2019 for our Annual Phoenix Knuckle Ball: Field of Dreams on November 8th, 2019, in support of brain aneurysm, AVM and hemorrhagic stroke research and awareness.  The evening will pay tribute to those who have lost their lives to these devastating conditions, while honoring the survivors fighting everyday to recover. Festivities will feature a cocktail reception, silent auction, formal dinner, event program, LIVE auction, and post program musical entertainment.  Join us, along with athletes and celebrities from across the country for an evening of fun, exceptional cuisine and philanthropy!

We will be awarding four Phoenix physicians with the Joe Niekro Foundation Patients Choice Award.  These physicians will be chosen from our community of patients and survivors and will honor their significant achievements and outstanding commitments to the advancements of neurological research and treatment. 

We believe that support is a vital part of recovery and the JNF Patient Services Program, which includes both in-person and online support forums, provides a variety of benefits, including mutual support, understanding and acceptance, non-judgmental listening, information, validation of feelings, role models, and much more. Our groups offer a safe haven for patients, families, friends, and caregivers to share their fears, challenges, successes, and failures in an atmosphere where they are loved and accepted by all. We currently have 52 support groups across North America as well as an online community of over 20,000 survivors, caregivers, physicians, and others supporting our efforts.

Proceeds from this year’s event will go towards the advancement and expansion of the foundation’s Patient Services and Education Program, as well as the establishment of a localized clinical research grant for applicants in the Phoenix area.
