Signature Events

This fundraising event is a unique celebration that makes a significant impact on cancer research disparities through the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund.

This annual gala is hosted by Dick Vitale, an original V Foundation Board member and longtime champion for pediatric cancer research. His support has garnered millions of dollars for cancer research and has inspired countless others to get involved in the fight to achieve Victory Over Cancer®. The Dick Vitale Gala takes place each May.

Join us for a luxurious weekend of exceptional wines and exquisite food, spent in the beautiful rolling hills of Virginia Wine Country. It will be a relaxed weekend of fun and fundraising – and your participation ensures critical cancer research continues.
