All proceeds will go towards supporting the mission of RTR4C. The Gala will be a black-tie affair, bringing together Bay Area community leaders, business executives and leading corporations, along with family and friends for a very special evening celebrating life through words, color and rooms that rock. The evening is dedicated to celebrating the strength of the human spirit and making a meaningful difference for those fighting cancer every day. Guests will enjoy fine food and wine against a backdrop of music and guest speakers, as well as both live and silent auctions. “We are blessed with the many volunteers and generous donors who have made a positive difference in the lives of so many, yet this has only been the beginning as we have dozens of ‘needy’ clinical rooms in our community,” said Nancy Linebarger Ballard, founder of Rooms That Rock 4 Chemo. “Only with the contributions of individuals and corporations have we been transforming chemotherapy rooms – one room at a time -- into beautiful, tranquil, healing places. It is our vision, and my dream, to transform every single chemotherapy room, in every hospital, in every city around the world until each room reflects the beauty, strength and hope of the human spirit.” Corporate sponsorships and table purchases are available. To inquire about sponsorships or attendance, please contact Judy Davies, RTR4C Gala Chair at [email protected]. About RoomsThatRock4Chemo RoomsThatRock4Chemo (RTR4C) – a nonprofit organization devoted to creating positive, healing and uplifting spaces that support those dealing with chemotherapy – was established in 2011 by Nancy Linebarger Ballard, an accomplished artist and published author, following a hospital visit where she first noted tiny, drab chemotherapy rooms. She instinctively and immediately donated her own artwork to enliven the on-site chemotherapy rooms. Supported by a team of talented interior designers, community and corporate sponsors, RTR4C has been transforming chemotherapy rooms and offering respite from an environment that can often be sterile and scary for patients and their family members. As the hospital atmosphere is transformed, the emotional well-being, comfort and hope in patients’ lives is positively impacted.
