Tickets On Sale Now for Emily’s Entourage 2025 Gala, “High-Res,” Illuminating a Sharpened Vision for Therapeutic Breakthroughs in Cystic Fibrosis
An unforgettable night of bold visuals, immersive storytelling, and breakthrough science—support a powerful mission and experience a future coming into focus for individuals living with cystic fibrosis.
PHILADELPHIA, PA–August 20, 2025—What if you could watch a future come into focus—pixel by pixel—until hope is no longer blurry, but vivid and real?
That’s the journey guests will experience at Emily’s Entourage’s 2025 gala, “High-Res,” on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at the Mann Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia.
And as of today—tickets are officially on sale.
Each year, Emily’s Entourage (EE) brings together a dynamic community of supporters, scientists, and passionate changemakers to accelerate breakthroughs for the final 10% of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) who are unable to benefit from current mutation-targeted therapies. For this community, CF remains a relentless, progressive disease—one that robs them of their breath, their freedom, and their futures.
“High-Res is about clarity—of purpose, of progress, and of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” says Emily Kramer-Golinkoff, MBE, co-founder of EE and a person living with advanced-stage CF.
“After years of gathering data and building momentum, the picture is finally coming into focus. And with that clarity comes the power to accelerate progress for those still waiting.”
A Night That Moves You—and Moves the Needle
Hosted by comedian, actor, and Philly native Anna Roisman, “High-Res” is more than a fundraiser—it’s a visually stunning, emotionally powerful, and purpose-driven night designed to awaken action and inspire impact.
Guests can expect:
- Bold, cinematic storytelling and powerful visuals
- Moving reflections from families impacted by CF
- Live entertainment, music, and interactive experiences
- Gourmet food, craft cocktails, and curated experiences
- A vibrant crowd of changemakers and innovators
“You don’t need to be personally touched by CF to attend,” says Kramer-Golinkoff. “You just need to believe that everyone deserves a bright, healthy future. By showing up, you’re helping make that future a reality for those still waiting with baited, fading breath.”
The 2025 EE gala honors The Scaglione Family in loving memory of Carolyn Denning, MD—a pioneering physician who not only diagnosed Emily as an infant, but helped shape the field of CF care itself. Her trailblazing spirit and compassionate leadership laid the foundation for today’s progress—and continues to inspire what comes next.
