Meet Ryder
This year, we are honored to celebrate 3-year-old Ryder, a brave fighter who has spent nearly a third of his life in treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). At just 2 years old, Ryder underwent six rounds of chemotherapy. Thanks to his courageous spirit, the care of his medical team and the unwavering support of his family and community, Ryder completed his treatment in July 2023.

Entertainment by The Spazmatics
End the night on a high note with an unforgettable performance by The Spazmatics, known as the “Ultimate 80s New Wave Tribute.” With energizing music, cool dance moves and plenty of nostalgia, their show is guaranteed to be a highlight of the evening.
