Rise Alliance Supports City of Hope Cancer Centers During TMA Night of Excellence Benefit Gala

Crowd of professionals networking at a large indoor business event with exposed brick walls, wood beams and hanging lights.

At Rise Alliance, we believe restructuring is about more than balance sheets. It’s about preserving what people have spent their lives building—and by extension, the communities, families and futures that depend on those businesses surviving.

That’s why we’re proud to be a donor sponsor of the Turnaround Management Association Southern California Chapter’s 2026 Night of Excellence—an evening that brings the best of our industry together for a cause that genuinely matters.

The Event

The TMA SoCal Night of Excellence is one of the premier networking events in the bankruptcy, reorganization and capital recovery space. It’s a high-end evening designed for serious professionals who understand that collaboration—not competition—is what moves this industry forward.

Thursday, April 30, 2026 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM (PST) Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel 11461 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049

Expect tasting tables of premium wine, craft beer and spirits. Curated food. Live music. And a room full of professionals who take the work of turning businesses around as seriously as we do.

Why It Matters

The Night of Excellence isn’t just a networking event. Every year, it serves as a fundraiser for City of Hope—one of the nation’s leading cancer research and treatment centers, and a designated comprehensive cancer center by the National Cancer Institute.

City of Hope has spent more than a century on the front lines of cancer research, pioneering treatments that have extended and saved millions of lives. Their work spans everything from immunotherapy and bone marrow transplantation to innovative drug trials and patient-centered care. They treat not just the disease but the whole person.

TMA SoCal has long supported City of Hope through this event. Past years have brought the industry together at venues like Serra on Vine and Palm Sophia. The 2026 Night of Excellence at the Luxe Sunset Boulevard Hotel continues that tradition in style.

Why Rise Alliance Shows Up

We work with business owners who are fighting for survival—often against systems that were designed to beat them. That fight doesn’t happen in a vacuum. It happens in communities. It affects families. It ripples outward in ways that matter enormously in the real world.

Supporting City of Hope through TMA SoCal’s Night of Excellence is consistent with who we are. We protect what’s worth protecting. We stand with the people doing hard, meaningful work. And we believe that a strong professional community makes all of us better at what we do.
