The NF Hope® Concerts were founded in Las Vegas by former Jersey Boys star, Jeff Leibow and his wife, Melody, after their daughter, Emma, was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis (NF) at nine months old. The event brings together incredible local talent and national headliners for an evening of entertainment to support a wonderful cause.

Since its inception, the NF Hope® Concerts have proudly contributed 100% of the proceeds every year to the Neurofibromatosis Network to fund not only their advocacy efforts, which have played a key role in winning over $620 million in federally funded NF research since 1996, but also their national programs empowering NF families, playing a vital role in scientific meetings and conferences, and providing seed grants for NF research.

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder of the nervous system characterized by tumors that can grow on any nerve in the body at any time. NF affects 1 in every 3,000 births making it more prevalent than Cystic Fibrosis, hereditary Muscular Dystrophy, Huntington’s Disease and Tay Sachs combined. Most notably, NF has no cure.
