Dover, Delaware – On March 1, 2025, the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition (DBCC) hosted another successful Lights of Life Gala at Bally’s Dover, bringing in a remarkable 460 attendees.
This year’s Lights of Life “A Night in Paris” Gala offered supporters an opportunity to accomplish a unique mission for the evening: celebrating life and survivorship while raising money for the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition. DE Governor Matt Meyer and his son Levi were able to attend the event and affirmed his support for the important work of DBCC. From sponsors to auction donors to attendees, this event would not have been possible without the community-wide support. The Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition extends a special thank you to the event’s three presenting “Eiffel Tower” sponsors: Bayhealth Medical Center, Bally’s Dover Casino Resort, and Royal Prime Events.
The event’s Survivor Showcase featured 9 local Delaware breast cancer survivors, (Amanda Evans, Marianne Callahan, Karen Laitman, Janene Kahn, Rosie Rolph, Beth Bland-Denisuk, Elle Sheaffer, Veronica Pitts, and Sandra Addicks). Survivors from different walks of life shared their stories with the disease and how the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition’s survivor programs help them live life to the fullest.
“Our survivors’ stories and their courage through their breast cancer journey truly inspires our vital work throughout Delaware and makes the Gala so meaningful. It’s our privilege to honor them on this special evening and thank our community of support for the impactful difference they are helping to make through DBCC’s programs,” remarked Francesca Vogel, CEO of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition.
