“This event experience will allow you the chance to celebrate, engage and dance with the families of Candlelighters,” said Candlelighters of Brevard Executive Director Natasha Duran.
“Our evening will begin with an awe-inspiring awards ceremony that will leave you feeling over the moon. We will then journey together to the Atlantis building which offers a number of interactive gaming areas, attractions and dance floor space to fully interact with our little stars.”
Event elements will also include the traditional Candlelighter signature baskets, auctions, dinner buffets, bars and dancing. Please note that this is an adult-only event.
“We look forward to this new adventure and invite you to join us as we celebrate a Night of Stars,” said Duran.
Tickets are currently only available through sponsorship opportunities, which are now available for reservation at HeartofGoldGala.givesmart.com
“In order to best serve our families and sponsors in attendance, we will not be releasing individual tickets sooner than one month prior to the event and will be dependent on availability,” said Duran.
Candlelighters of Brevard is a non-profit organization offering emotional support and financial assistance to children with cancer in Brevard and Indian River Counties.
What many people may not understand about childhood cancer is that the devastation reality of the disease goes miles beyond anything physical.
In addition to the extreme financial strain of paying for care, Brevard and Indian River based families must also devote an overwhelming amount of time, travel and money for countless other expenses.
From the shock of the diagnosis to the painful side-effects of treatment, the ongoing heartbreak and emotional impact felt by the entire family is hard to imagine.

While nobody can see the diagnosis coming, we can make sure that our local children and their families have the support and resources they need to fight back.
From economic assistance to emotional encouragement, join Candlelighters of Brevard in helping families survive the extreme physical, psychological and practical hardships of this disease.
“Because there are no pediatric oncologists in Brevard, 100 percent of our families must travel out of the county in order to seek medical care,” said Duran. “These families also drive approximately 229,623 miles to their treatment centers.”
