The Gold Gala to Raise Money for Childhood Cancer Families in The Capital Region

SCOTIA — 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. 

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, in a statement. “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.”

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. 

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.
