Every TRCF scholar served has a story to tell. Each has walked a road unimaginable to most. Of all the people living with cancer, teens and young adults receive the least amount of support. TRCF's programs were initiated after extensive research into the needs of teens battling cancer and ensure that scholar outcomes are impactful, equitable, and effective.

100% of the funds raised at this event will go directly toward providing ongoing college scholarships to teen cancer survivors. Without this vital support, the financial burden of cancer treatment would prohibit many of these survivors from attending school and earning a college degree. Our mission supports teens impacted by cancer by bridging the educational opportunity gap and providing a gateway to economic mobility and a higher quality of life.

TRCF exists solely on the generosity of our community. We are extremely thankful that we live in a community that strongly supports adolescents in need and understands the value of education. We hope that you enjoy our event so that we can continue to support teen cancer survivors in need! 

 

Meet our Scholars!


The Ruth Cheatham Foundation Gala has quickly become one of Dallas's most recognized fundraisers for teen cancer support. Building upon last year's event, TRCF has a goal to reach even more teen survivors in need nationwide.

This year's TRCF event will bring something completely unique and exciting to the gala. Attendees will have the chance to step into the 'casino' and try their luck at vegas style casino games like blackjack, roulette, poker, and Craps. All proceeds will go to fund our educational support programs to teen cancer survivors! 

Gala Location : May 6th, 2023 at the Fairmont Luxury Hotel in Downtown Dallas

(Address: 1717 N Akard Street, Dallas, TX 75201)

Check-In will begin at 6:00pm for all guests. TRCF has a cocktail reception with a silent auction, wine pull, 360 degree photo booth and so much more to check out during our welcome hour for all guests. Those with VIP Access will be invited to the VIP Reception will be from 6:00pm - 7:30pm. The program will start promptly at 7:30pm.

We can't wait to see you!
