The Cancer Support Community will host its 2016 Spring Celebration on April 14 at the Lighthouse at Pier 61 in New York City.
The annual event celebrates the accomplishments of heroes in the cancer community while raising funds to advance the organization's mission — to ensure that all people impacted by cancer are empowered by knowledge, strengthened by action, and sustained by community.
Each year, the Spring Celebration is inspired by a particular flower. This year’s event is inspired by the rose, which symbolizes love, beauty, and courage.
The celebration will feature musical performances by Tony Award winner LaChanze (If/Then) and master of ceremonies Jack Ford, CBS News legal analyst. Krysta Rodriguez (Spring Awakening) and longtime Cancer Support Community advocate Lindsay Mendez (Significant Other, Wicked) are set to be in attendance as well. Broadway spouses Marin Mazzie (The King and I) and Jason Danieley (The Visit) will receive the Founders Award for Empowerment.
The evening also includes dinner, music, dancing, and an auction featuring the #4Chords4Cancer guitar, autographed by more than 20 top music artists. The auction culminates a campaign to spread awareness of the free resources available to people with cancer and their families by the Cancer Support Community.
