April 12, 2023Scotia-based foundation hosts ‘The Gold Gala’ for Capital Region Cancer Families
The Logan Strong Foundation (LSF), a locally based childhood cancer non-profit, presents ‘The Gold Gala’, Friday, May 19 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Armory Studios in Schenectady.
The catered event features a spirits tasting, silent auction, DJ, dancing, photo booth and open bar.
Tickets are on sale now through May 1 and are limited to 250 attendees. Choose $125 per person or levels at $250 and higher to include a ticket donation to an area family whose lives are affected by the disease. Sponsorships and silent auction donations are also invited up until the final ticket sale deadline.
Proceeds from past events have been used for Amazon Wish List items, gas and grocery gift cards, cleaning services and individual fundraiser items and services. Recent donations to the Ronald McDonald House and Albany Medical Center are included in the work of LSF.
Event organizers hope ‘The Gold Gala” will provide enough resources to serve up to 100+ families by the end of the year.
“My husband and I decided to create LSF in honor of our son”, said Jennifer Hendricks-Fogg, Founder and President. “We know and understand what it’s like to feel your world crash down, and to live in the hospital for extended periods of time” she said.
Fogg added, “We want people to know that they are not alone, and they are supported.”
Armory Studios, site of the inaugural event, is located at 125 Washington Ave., Schenectady and features over 90,000 square feet of production and studio spaces. Home to the popular Van Gogh immersive experience exhibit, Armory Studios has been a part of HBO Productions ‘Gilded Age’, ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and other prominent projects featured on Showtime, Discovery and The Travel Channel.
