We strive to make this event an unforgettable experience our guests. We are shining the light on cancer and the work that is being done to improve the quality of life for those dealing with cancer in our Nick’s name. While this year’s event is sold out we wish to extend an invitation to all to take part in the silent auction of the Lime Light Gala.” says HF President and Nick’s Mom Cheryl Colleluori
