5TH ANNUAL UNDER THE STARS GALA
The 5th Annual Under the Stars Gala, that took place on Thursday October 10th, 2024, at The Heritage Club at Bethpage, was not only a celebration of achievements but a poignant reminder of the battles fought, and victories gained in the world of cancer care and patient support this year.
The event featured stories of resilience, hope, and the power of community highlighted by our honorees, Michele Dean, President & CEO of Suffolk Credit Union, Cyndi Konkel, Friend and Mondays Client, and Carol Silva, Emmy-Award winning, Veteran News 12 Anchor.
The partnership between Suffolk Credit Union and Mondays Cancer Care, focusing on patient advocacy, support, and more access to Mondays beauty and wellness services, has been spearheaded by Michele Dean. Her efforts to advance the Mondays Mission, unwavering support and continued faith in what we do was applauded by all in attendance, further emphasizing her vital role in the fight against cancer.
The night began with the 2nd Annual "A Night of Light" Ceremony, where guests were invited outside to light a sparkler in memory or honor of someone facing cancer. This show of unity was apparent as the sky shone with a collective light, symbolizing the strength and resilience of cancer survivors and paying tribute to those who continue to fight.
In every sense, the gala lived up to its theme of "Under the Stars," bringing people together and shining a light on the experiences of those touched by cancer. It was a night of unity, compassion, and hope, leaving a lasting impression on all who attended and reinforced the importance of supporting one another through life's challenges.
