Light the Night Celebration

Join Nevus Outreach on February 21st for the Light the Night Gala — an evening dedicated to connection, hope, and progress for individuals and families impacted by congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN) and neurocutaneous melanocytosis (NCM).

Light the Night is a celebration of the Nevus community. It’s a time to come together, reflect on how far we’ve come, and invest in the future we are building — one rooted in research, support, and belonging. Every light raised represents a family, a story, and a shared commitment to improving outcomes for those living with CMN and NCM.

Why Light the Night Matters

Advancing CMN & NCM Research

CMN and NCM remain under-researched and poorly understood. Light the Night directly supports research efforts that expand scientific knowledge, strengthen data collection, and move us closer to better monitoring, care, and treatment options.

Supporting Families Across the Lifespan

From diagnosis through adulthood, families affected by CMN and NCM navigate complex medical, emotional, and social challenges. Nevus Outreach exists to walk alongside them — providing trusted information, access to experts, community connection, and advocacy. Light the Night helps ensure these supports remain strong and accessible.

Strengthening the Nevus Community

Light the Night is about belonging. It brings together patients, parents, clinicians, researchers, advocates, and supporters who believe that no one should face CMN or NCM alone. This shared space builds understanding, resilience, and hope — and fuels the work ahead.

An Evening with Purpose

By attending Light the Night, you are investing in:

Research that moves the field forward
Programs that support real families, right now
A growing, global community committed to equity, dignity, and hope

Together, we light the way forward for the CMN & NCM community.
