2025 Recap
Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate our 3rd annual Music for Kathy event. We were honored to welcome more than 150 guests, including Kathy’s husband, son, and daughter.
Piazza delivered once again—delicious pizza, pasta, and salad paired with outstanding service made for a perfect evening.
And the entertainment? Absolutely incredible:
- Sammy and the Knights kicked things off with a surprise horn section and guest vocalists—what a way to start!
- Buckshot Bully kept the energy high and the dance floor full.
- Tigirlily Gold was pure GOLD. These talented sisters not only shared their stunning voices and kindness, but their performance during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month made it especially meaningful – how perfect that gold is the symbolic color of September.
It was an unforgettable night in honor of Kathy, and we’re so grateful you were part of it.
This year, you’ve helped create something truly special. Together with our community, we raised $80,000 for Camp One Step by Children’s Oncology Services, and the results are inspiring.
That support means:
- 53 campers will pack their bags for a week of laughter, friendship, and healing away from the hospital.
- 160 camper-weeks of virtual programs will bring joy to kids who cannot attend in person.
- Families receive the relief of knowing camp is fully accessible, including meals, travel, medical care, and adaptive equipment.
Whether you donated, volunteered, or spread the word, you’ve given children the gift of belonging and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for being part of the Pierce Family Foundation.
