Mary Kenealy Events

Longtime supporters of the Dick Vitale Gala, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers continue to make a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer. The Buccaneers proudly teamed up once again with the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation for their 12th Annual Cut and Color Funds the Cure event at the AdventHealth Training Center, bringing together current and former players, coaches, staff, and the entire Buccaneers community in support of children battling cancer.

We were also proud to see several of our Dickie V Alumni in attendance, showing their continued commitment to this important cause and helping make the day even more meaningful. A special shoutout to Brian Ford, who shaved his head in support of the cause, demonstrating his dedication to raising awareness and funding for lifesaving pediatric cancer research.

Throwback to the incredible 80th Anniversary Gala for Easterseals Southwest Florida. ✨ We are still thinking about this unforgettable evening featuring keynote speaker Will Reeve and the powerful impact shared throughout the night.

Mary Kenealy Events loves working with nonprofits to help share their mission with the community and create meaningful events that inspire, connect, and celebrate.

With a little help from his friends, Dick Vitale raised about $21 million for cancer research at his weekend gala in Sarasota.

What an unforgettable night in support of pediatric cancer research.

We’re so grateful to everyone who helped bring this event to life- from our incredible honorees, to the supporters, sponsors, and behind-the-scenes teams who make every detail possible. Nights like this don’t happen without a village, and we’re proud to be part of it.

A special thank you to our emcee, Kevin Negandhi, for guiding the evening with energy, heart, and grace.

And of course, to the one and only Dick Vitale- your passion for raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer research continues to inspire everyone in the room and beyond.

We’re still feeling the impact of the night and are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make it such a success in the fight against pediatric cancer. 🎗️
