Your attendance is requested at The Molly Impact Gratitude Gala! 

 Molly Oldham, a two-time Brain Cancer Warrior, has been granted a Wish from Wishes Can Happen!   Her wish is to host an Epic Gratitude Gala for her 21st birthday that is as unique and magical as she is!  She invites you to walk the red carpet while supporting the amazing foundations that continue to support and inspire her, and other CANcer FAMilies. Her gift has always been bringing people together, and this night will be no different.

Molly will be honoring four special people from around the country who have undeniably impacted her life.  Honorees that will be in attendance are : 
Mr. Colin Gerner, StacheStrong,  New York      
Mr. Bill Zito, Florida Panthers, Florida
Mr. Greg Flores, Cancer for College, California    
Jeannine Marks, Stewarts Caring Place, Ohio

Following the presentation and a Special Raise the Paddle, guests will dance under the stars,  toast Molly with drinks like the Mollitini,  and continue to nosh on some of her favorite foods.  

For one special night, Stewart's Caring Place will be turned into a collection of themed rooms that are Instagram-worthy, with no filters needed!  Rooms will be blinged out by POMP Parties with the help of many amazing organizations you will be buzzing about for months to come. You will not want to miss this one-of-a-kind event!

Proceeds for this event will be used to support the Organizations that are moving the mark in Cancer Research and Provide Resources to CANcer FAMilies.
 

Honorees

Colin Gerner - Molly met Colin when they both appeared on ABC The View during Brain Cancer Awareness Month.  Colin lost his brother GJ to Brain Cancer, but not before they formed #StacheStrong together, an organization devoted to raising funds and awareness for brain cancer research.  #StacheStrong and #BrewStacheStrong have given our family a purpose that can directly affect the progress made in brain cancer research.  Colin is a fierce advocate, who is continuing his brother's legacy and is a leader in flipping the script to end brain cancer.  www.stachestrong.org

  Greg Flores - Greg is the Executive Director of Cancer For College. Since its inception, CFC has granted over $3.5M to more than 1400 college-bound cancer warriors from around the country.  Scholars are also invited to educational programming like the CFC Inspire Project in which Molly participates.  She meets monthly with other cancer thrivers with Greg and other mentors.  Molly recently spent the weekend at Disneyland with Greg and other CFC mentors to learn the management and leadership skills of the Disney Team!  www.cancerforcollege.org

Bill Zito is Molly's friend first.  He is her biggest fan and an incredible human being.  Bill first introduced our family to PELOTONIA, a cancer-fighting organization out of Columbus.  The centerpiece of their fundraising is a 3-day (bike) Ride Weekend.  This year in August Molly will be singing the National Anthem at the start of the Downtown Race.  Bill ignited our family's love for Hockey.  We may live in 3 different states, but the Oldhams watch Hockey "together" and the power of rooting for the same team, has brought us great joy during difficult times.  Molly enjoys singing the National Anthem for Hockey Fights Cancer Night for the Florida Panthers, but the best part of it all is having the entire Zito family in our lives. www.nhl.com/panthers

Jeannine Marks may be retiring from Stewarts Caring Place this year, but her mark on the organization is undeniable.  When Molly was diagnosed with cancer, close family friend Betsy Marchetta called from her own hospital bed and suggested that we contact Jeannine at Stewarts Caring Place, as they provided free services and programs to families fighting cancer. Betsy said, "Jeannine will take care of all of you".   And take care of us, is what she does.  Jeannine has connected our family to counseling, wellness, and other families.  Her understanding and her kindness, her willingness to spend time listening, and her special way of making everything special, deserve being honored tonight. www.stewartscaringplace.org
