The grand hall atย The Bowery Hotelย in New York was full of beautiful people coming together to honor the work of the organization that focuses on the goal of raising funds for music therapy and cancer research. Since 2019, the YPC has raised nearly $800,000 for Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation through its legendary events.
Renowned music executive and entrepreneurย Charlie Walkย was honored in front of attendees including Brandon Metz, Julio Galvez,ย RISA, and Jesse Solomon of โSummer House.โ

โIt’s very good to be here since the subject is very close to home,โ Solomon who is a survivor told Knockturnal on the red carpet. โThe message is that awareness is important and why it is important going to get checked. Early detection is the only way to truly beat cancer. It’s just been so heartwarming. I’m just happy that I could share my story. A lot of people are grateful and reached out and said thank you. I’m just here to support as many people as I can.โ
Allย proceeds from theย YPC Galaย will go towardsย Gabrielleโs Angel Foundationโsย music therapy and cancerย research programs, which to date have distributed nearly $43M in research grants.
