An unforgettable evening of joy, laughter, and connection, the 2026 Red Door Community Gala: Beyond the Red Door brought together friends, supporters, and community members for a meaningful cause: ensuring that no one faces cancer alone.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our guests, sponsors, and supporters, the evening raised more than $350,000 in the room! These essential funds will help Red Door Community continue providing connection and support to individuals and families impacted by cancer.

Couldn’t join us for the celebration? You can still be part of the impact! Make a donation here today to help ensure that no one faces cancer alone.

The evening celebrated the people who make our mission possible, with special recognition of honorees Saranne Rothberg and Jim Hawley. We were also grateful to hear from member speaker Al Willock, enjoy the energy of host Dena Blizzard and auctioneer Harry Santa-Olalla, and welcome special guest Missy Hall.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, volunteered, and helped bring the evening to life, including our generous partners and dedicated Gala Committee. Your support helps us open our Red Door to more individuals and families every day.

The celebration doesn’t have to end here! Explore some of our favorite moments from the evening in our event photo album.
