FA Community Page
The 8th annual Cure FA Soirée will be on June 7, 2025, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA!
This webpage serves as a central information hub for the FA community. The Gehr Family and the Soirée Planning Team envision the Soirée as both a community-building event and a fundraiser. We’ll keep this page updated with all key information for the FA Community. Bookmark it and check back often!

Get Your Tickets
The Soirée is a fundraiser for the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA); we raised over $480k in 2024, and our 2025 goal is $500k! Purchase tickets at give.curefasoiree.org. All funds raised are matched by an anonymous donor, doubling the impact of your support! If cost is a barrier and you’d like to use sponsored tickets, contact Liz Gehr.
New Venue for 2025
The 2025 Soirée will be held at the Omni Oklahoma City (100 Oklahoma City Blvd, OKC, OK 73109). The Omni is the best-equipped venue in Oklahoma for our growing Soirée and it has many more accessible rooms. Our block at the Omni is mostly full (as of 5/2), and the links to that block and nearby hotels are at hotel.curefasoiree.org!
