SALT LAKE CITY, UT, UNITED STATES, May 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) welcomed more than 325 supporters, advocates, and leaders in health care and industry to its annual Commit to Cure Gala on April 11, 2026. The inspiring evening brought together a passionate community committed to accelerating research, advancing advocacy, and improving the lives of the more than 8 million people in the U.S. living with psoriatic disease.
Held at the Grand America Hotel, the Commit to Cure Gala raised more than $1,000,000 to support NPF’s mission to drive efforts to cure psoriatic disease and improve the lives of those affected.
