Cocktails for a Cure

On November 16th, we gathered together at Moderne Barn in Armonk, NY for our annual gala, Cocktails for a Cure. There's no greater way to spend an evening than with our PCF Community raising money for a worthwhile cause, to eradicate pediatric cancer. Thank you to everyone who showed up, for digging deep and for sharing your love and generosity in helping us achieve our mission.

Our first PCF Ambassador Award

Pediatric Cancer Foundation honored Gigi Ambrosio at Cocktails for a Cure for her drive and determination to defeat cancer. Gigi is an inspiration to us and others in her personal mission to eradicate children's cancer.

Our Keynote Speaker, Chris Lamberto

Chris and his family have continuously supported our charity after he was diagnosed with cancer at 6 years old. Chris takes his chance at life as an opportunity to give back however he can, to build a legacy of goodness and generosity that ripples out into the world.

Congratulations to PCF's Brooklyn Chapter, chaired by the Lamberto family, for hosting their PCF Comedy Night on November 4th and raising $20,000

On December 3, our incredible Junior Committee successfully raised over $25,000 for pediatric cancer research during our second annual Zoom Trivia Night.

We are immensely proud of these teenagers for their efforts and participation in this special event.
