Here's the first in our series of personal stories from each of the inspirational women who make this event a huge success year after year. Read what the evening means to Kate Jordan:
"For me, the event to honor the memory of our friend has become much more than raising funds; for some who attend it has become part of their healing journey. Some haven't spoken or written the name of their loved one since they passed. It can be overwhelming and through this event they are allowed to be emotional in a shared experience. This is an opportunity for families and friends to come together with other like families and allow themselves to grieve their loss or celebrate their remissions. For one night each year we open our hearts and ears to those who gather from many places. We take a moment to honor each person individually as we share in their healing. I am honored and humbled to be a part of these moments."
