The Tyler Robinson Foundation (TRF), the nonprofit organization founded by Grammy Award-winning band Imagine Dragons, has announced Sept. 12 as the date for its annual Rise Up Gala. The highly anticipated event will take place at the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, bringing together supporters, celebrities and philanthropists for an unforgettable night benefiting families battling pediatric cancer.
Now in its 12th year, the Rise Up Gala is one of Las Vegas’ premier charity events, featuring a night of music, inspiration and powerful storytelling. Guests will enjoy an exclusive dinner, live auction and special performances, all while raising critical funds to support TRF’s mission of providing financial relief and emotional support to families facing a childhood cancer diagnosis.
“Every year, the Rise Up Gala reminds us of the incredible strength and resilience of the families we serve,” said Toni Corbin, 2025 Rise Up Gala chairwoman. “We’re honored to gather our community to celebrate hope, raise awareness while expanding our mission, and make a direct impact on children and families when they need it most.”
Since its founding in 2013, the Tyler Robinson Foundation has helped thousands of families across the globe, providing millions of dollars in direct grants to offset out-of-pocket expenses and alleviate the financial burdens associated with pediatric cancer treatment. The average cost associated with treating a child with cancer is more than $800,000.

About Imagine Dragons
Formed in 2009, Imagine Dragons first revealed their limitless passion and genre-bending sensibilities with a series of independently released EPs that quickly earned a grassroots following. After hitmaking producer Alex Da Kid signed them to KIDinaKORNER/Interscope, the band made their major-label debut with Continued Silence, a 2012 EP featuring the double-platinum breakthrough single “It’s Time.” With their full-length debut Night Visions arriving later that year, Imagine Dragons found themselves on a skyward trajectory that saw the album debut at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, selling more than five million copies worldwide. In addition, Night Visions‘ diamond-selling single “Radioactive” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Rock chart and won Best Rock Performance at the 2014 Grammy Awards. From there, Imagine Dragons went on to see their 2015 sophomore album Smoke + Mirrors debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Released in June 2017, their third album EVOLVE was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album and spawned three No. 1 Alternative radio hits: “Believer,” which topped the Alternative radio chart for 12 weeks and also climbed to No. 3 at Top 40 radio; “Thunder,” which hit No. 1 at Top 40 and scored a Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Grammy nomination; and “Whatever It Takes,” which was Top 5 at Top 40 radio. The band recently released their fourth album, ORIGINS. The album includes the #1 single “Natural,” which spent nine weeks at No. 1 at alternative radio.
