A childhood cancer diagnosis affects the entire family. Alongside medical treatment, children and their loved ones often need emotional support, opportunities to connect with others, and programs that help them navigate the challenges of cancer.
Special Love provides camps, family programs, and supportive experiences that bring hope, encouragement, and a sense of community to children with cancer and their families. Through these programs, the organization helps families create lasting memories and find support throughout their cancer journey. To continue this important mission, Special Love is hosting its signature annual fundraising event.
The Special Love Annual Gala 2026 will take place on Friday, October 2, 2026, at the Hilton Tysons Corner. This year’s Casino Night theme promises an exciting evening of celebration, inspiration, and fundraising as guests come together to support children with cancer and their families. Proceeds from the gala help fund Special Love’s camps, family retreats, and year-round support programs. Every ticket and donation helps ensure children facing cancer can experience joy, connection, and compassionate care beyond the hospital.
Reserve your seat here to support children with cancer and help families find hope through Special Love’s life-changing programs.
