Moments that bring us together

Our events are more than fundraisers. They’re living reminders of how love continues to move through a community that refuses to turn away. Whether it’s a small neighborhood gathering or a ballroom full of golden hearts, every event helps brighten the lives of children and families facing childhood brain cancer.

Join us for upcoming ways to connect, give and spread joy.

Evan’s Golden Heart Gala

A Night to Ignite the Golden Spark of Hope!

Join us for our 2nd annual gala, a fun evening including a cocktail hour, dinner, and live and silent auctions. We are coming together to support families navigating the journey of childhood cancer. No family should have to choose between their child’s treatment and their household bills.

Your impact provides:
💛 Financial Relief: Direct support with essential resources and costs for families and kids battling cancer.
💛 Healing Through Play: Funding improvements for sensory and play areas in the oncology units in local hospitals.
