The American Cancer Society’s 6th Anniversary of the Denim & Diamonds Hope Gala promises to be a memorable evening as you give back to our community and the American Cancer Society. This one-of-a-kind event features fabulous food, delicious drinks, fun dancing to a live band, a spectacular live auction, games, and much more. With your support, the American Cancer Society saves lives by helping people stay well and get well, by finding cures, and by fighting back against cancer.
So, mark your calendar for Friday, December 4, 2026, grab your hat and dust off your boots for what promises to be a rip-roaring, kick up your heels good time while making a measurable difference in the fight against cancer. We hope to see you there in your boots, denim, and diamonds!
Thank you to our distinguished volunteers who serve on the American Cancer Society’s 2026 Denim & Diamonds Hope Gala Board of Ambassadors. Their tireless efforts and unwavering dedication to finishing the fight against cancer are instrumental to the continued success of our event.
