**The 1st Annual I Believe Art Gala**
**Benefiting The Race for Adam Foundation**

Founded in 2005, the **Race for Adam Foundation** is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization committed to funding critical research for the treatment and cure of **Niemann-Pick Type C (NP-C)** and other related neurodegenerative disorders. Affecting only 500 individuals worldwide, these rare and terminal conditions often go unnoticed. One brave young soul, **Adam Recke**, who lives with NP-C, has inspired countless lives through his courage, positivity, and unwavering spirit.

To raise awareness and advance research, the inaugural **I Believe Art Gala** will be held at the **ArtsQuest Center at SteelStacks**, a premier performing arts venue. The gala will feature an exclusive art exhibition by **Edgar J. Brown**, whose theme, *“Sports Evolution: From the Gridiron to the Cage,”* explores the dynamic journey of athletics from traditional sports to modern-day combat disciplines.

Each guest will receive a **limited edition “I Believe” fine art print**, personally signed by Edgar J. Brown — widely recognized as *“one of the most sought-after sports artists in the world.”*

This one-of-a-kind evening will offer much more than art. Guests will enjoy:

* **Live performances** by acclaimed musicians **Paul Rosevear** and **Scott Marshall**
* An enchanting set by **sleight-of-hand magician Artie Miller**
* **Swag Bags** for all attendees
* The opportunity to **mingle with celebrity athletes** from the Super Bowl, NFL, MLB, UFC™, and more
