December 14, 2024 | San Diego, CA
We had an incredible time at Will Ferrell’s Holiday Jam at the Music Box in San Diego! This one-of-a-kind event was filled with unforgettable moments, all in support of cancer survivors.
The evening featured an electrifying performance by Dogstar, the rock band with Bret Domrose, Robert Mailhouse, and Keanu Reeves. After a 20-year hiatus, Dogstar’s return with their fresh album Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees has been captivating fans, and their set at the Holiday Jam was no exception!
We were also thrilled to welcome Magnus Ferrell as a special guest, adding even more star power to the night.

Cherry Hawk Day at the Races
August 22, 2024 | Del Mar, CA
We had an incredible time at the 25th Annual Cherry Hawk event, graciously hosted by the Richardson family. Guests enjoyed delicious food, classic beverages, and the thrill of live horse racing. The highlight of the afternoon was hearing from our inspiring 2024 Cherry Hawk Scholars, Jacob Fagundes and Molly Streicher. Both cancer survivors, Jacob and Molly accepted their $10,000 scholarships with plans to merge their love of sports with their dedication to cancer advocacy.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended and helped make this event a cherished tradition for 25 years. Special appreciation goes to the Richardson siblings—Heather Alexander, Greg Richardson, Brian Richardson, and Holly Gardner—for their unwavering commitment to both their father’s legacy and our cause.
