The gala, which also serves as our most significant fundraiser of the year, honors individuals who have made notable contributions to help those affected by childhood cancer.
At this special event, we will dine and dance with those we love, toast those who are loved but lost, and with your help, make a difference in the lives of children and families battling pediatric cancer.
