ACS Victory Board Gala of Hope
to
Forbes Farm Lawrence Road, Saint Simons Island, Georgia 31522
The American Cancer Society Victory Board and 2022 Gala Chairs invite you to attend the Gala of Hope on Friday, September 23. This 53rd annual signature fundraiser begins at 7:00 p.m. at Forbes Farm on St. Simon Island. This beautiful new event venue serves as the Gala’s presenting sponsor and is sure to dazzle with the evening’s décor and floral flourishes by Merci Bouquet Flower Truck. Attendees will enjoy a strolling reception with appetizers from Dorothy’s, a delicious dinner catered by Halyards, and dessert provided by Crabdaddy’s. Tickets for the evening are $200 and include full bar and beer donated by Barrier Island Brewing. Jacksonville event band Who Rescued Who will provide the musical entertainment so guests can dance the night away. There will also be live and silent auctions featuring some incredible items and experience packages, as well as a diamond raffle presented by Chadwick's Jewelers. The diamond raffle is $75/ticket and limited to the first 100 patrons who purchase a glass of champagne.
The goal for this black-tie event isn’t just to have a good time, it’s to raise enough money to donate a full year’s worth of nights to Hope Lodge in Jacksonville. This 30-room lodging facility offers a free haven for adult cancer patients who travel 40 or more miles for treatment. More than just a roof over their heads, it’s a nurturing community that assists patients in accessing the care they need. Each Hope Lodge community offers a supportive, home-like environment where guests can share a meal, join in evening activities, or unwind in their own private room. The cost of a night’s stay is $180. A donation to purchase a stay for one or more nights can be made at the event or online via the event website (provided below). This is a great way for you to help support those seeking a comforting haven while fighting cancer even if you don’t plan to attend the Gala!
