On Friday, 17 October 2026, supporters of The Mary Nelson’s Youth Day Foundation and The Mary Nelson’s Youth Center gathered at Palladian Hall — The Treasury in Syracuse for Beyond the Dream Gala, an evening of elegance, inspiration and recognition.
The evening celebrated five extraordinary women — Juli Boeheim, Evelyn Ingram, Beth Baldwin, Rebecca Shiroff and Pamela Hunter — whose grace, strength and impact inspire us all, with special guest keynote remarks from former Syracuse University head coach Jim Boeheim.
