Leading A Legacy Of Hope For Brain Aneurysm Prevention
We are excited to announce the details for The Bee Foundation For Brain Aneurysm Prevention’s 2025 HoneyBash Gala taking place on Saturday, October 18th at the Union League of Philadelphia. This iconic event brings together key leaders in the Brain Aneurysm field, corporate sponsors and benefactors, awareness advocates, survivors and their families. All of whom are dedicated to ending the devastation caused by this disease. Each year we strive to make the HoneyBash Gala impactful, and entertaining. This year, the Union League serves as the backdrop as we share cocktails, fine food and an opportunity to take home some incredible auction items! We will celebrate the great advancements in Research, Awareness, Advocacy and Support with an award ceremony honoring the TBF Preventative Research Grants & The Bee Hope Award.
This year the 2025 Gala is dedicated to the development of brain aneurysm best practices in the areas of identification, treatment & recovery. We will honor the advancements that have taken place in each of these areas and identify the opportunities for improvement that will lead to greater public awareness and more lives saved. All proceeds will support the TBF Best Practices Program and the Emergency Education Fund supporting the education of health care professionals in the early identification of brain aneurysms.
Come witness the strength of the TBF Community that starts with the courage to use our own voice to advocate for ourselves, or families and our community.

I was working in one of the bedrooms at the house and when I stood up from my desk, I started to sweat, developed a severe migraine, and suddenly lost the ability to see or move the right side of my body... I knew something was seriously wrong...I was given a CT scan that revealed I had a large 7.5cm hemorrhage on the left side of my brain.
