About the Gala


The ASK Above & Beyond Gala is our community's biggest night of the year to help make life better for children with cancer and their families.

 

Over the years, this event has gathered thousands together to raise critical funds to expand our work across Virginia. The funds raised at this event support our efforts to lessen the burden of a pediatric cancer diagnosis through our three areas of focus: Family Support, Educational Support, and Community and Connection. Check out the recap from last year's record-breaking gala in the video above.


The 2025 ASK Gala will be a night of history in the making, featuring:

  • Silent & live auctions
  • Seated dinner
  • Interactive reception & after-party with live DJ and themed activities
  • Open Bar
  • Complimentary valet

About ASK

With 6-7 childhood cancer diagnoses per week across Virginia, financial assistance, educational support, and opportunities for connection are needed now more than ever. Your support will enable ASK to continue its work to be there for our families from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

Through your generosity, we can be there to provide families with something as big as financial assistance to pay their rent this month, or something as little as a snack, a toy, or a shoulder to cry on. All proceeds raised by ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation directly impact the lives of children with cancer and their families. Visit askccf.org to learn more.
