Igniting Hope Gala

Thank you for your Support!

A huge thank you to our sponsors, donors, and guests who made our 17th Anniversary Igniting Hope Gala at the Palace Hotel a huge success and memorable evening.

We would like to thank Keynote Speaker Hunter Pence–former MLB Player, broadcaster, gamer, and entrepreneur–for his heartfelt, powerful and uplifting words. He is our Forever SF Giant.

Once again, we congratulate the 2024 White Helmet Honorees-Michael Green, MS, MPP, and Peter Carroll, MD, MPH—for their ongoing support and dedication to SFFCPF. Their efforts make it possible for us to continue our work in prevention, early detection, and cutting-edge treatment of cancer for retired and active firefighters and their families.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to all the vendors, in-kind donors and volunteers who executed our vision, resulting in an event that exceeded our expectations and provided our guests with an unforgettable evening.
