The GenNow Network Pensacola chapter of the American Cancer Society (ACS) announced the return of the Fork Cancer Gala, scheduled from 6-10 p.m. on April 4, at Supposey Warehouse and Gardens. Ryan Frazier, event chair of Fork Cancer Pensacola, shares the details.
Fork Cancer Pensacola is building on the overwhelming success of its inaugural event in 2024, where the goal was to raise $65,000—and the community came together to surpass $85,000.
This year, organizers have set an ambitious $125,000 fundraising goal, with all proceeds benefiting ACS’s Road to Recovery program, which offers free rides to those without other means of transportation to their cancer treatments
The Fork Cancer Pensacola Gala will feature an unforgettable evening of gourmet small plates from 11 local restaurants. The event will include an open bar, silent auction items, and three luxurious live auction prizes. Attendees will enjoy entertainment from caricaturist Tim Banfell and live music by two bands: Mirage and Ben Loftin & Family.
Tickets for the Fork Cancer Gala are $100 per person (21 and older), with limited seating for only 500 guests. High-scale cocktail attire is encouraged. Get tickets here.
The event actively seeks sponsors and silent auction donations from businesses and individuals willing to contribute goods, services, or experiences. Those interested in making donations can contact Melanie Orr at 850-407-4735 or by email at melanie.orr@cancer.org.
