SAVE THE DATE! The 37th Annual Gala is scheduled for November 6, 2021.
2021 CCF Gala Sponsorship Form
In 2021, Giant Food celebrates 85 years as a community grocery store. Since opening its first location on Georgia Ave. in Washington, DC in 1936, Giant has been an integral part of our community. Giant is headquartered in Landover, Md. and operates 164 supermarkets in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia.
Since 1983, Giant Food has been by CCF’s side, raising over $20M to support pediatric cancer research and vital programs that support our youngest patients. It is our honor to present Giant Food with the 2021 Gift of Life Award.
Join us on Saturday, November 6th for our 37th Gala. Mark Viviano will Emcee the Gala as we present CCF Research and Program Awards. We hope to see you in person, but will also share our Gala via live stream for those who cannot attend in person.
In addition to Giant Food, our 2021 Honorees include:
Jean Kettell, to receive the CCF Hero Award
The Kahlert Foundation, to receive the CCF Fighter Award
Registration will be posted here this summer.
