The Soirée
More than a fundraiser.
A community statement.
The Soirée has raised more than $1.9 million over the last four years, including more than $600,000 for breakthrough cancer research. That is what this community is capable of when it comes together.
Now operating under the direct stewardship of the Blue Mountain Cancer Foundation, The Soirée is entering a new chapter — one with a more direct pipeline to local families in need and a more transparent accounting of where every dollar goes.
The Inaugural Foundation Soirée
This year marks a milestone. The Soirée's first year as the signature event of the Blue Mountain Cancer Foundation is not just a continuation of what we have built — it is a declaration of what we are building next. We are preparing for the most impactful Soirée yet, and we want you in the room.
Total Raised Over 4 Years
Directed to Breakthrough Research
For sponsors and tables.
Your partnership with The Soirée is a partnership with your community. Sponsorship opportunities are available at multiple levels, each with meaningful visibility and impact. From presenting sponsorships to table packages, we have a way for every business and organization to show up for this cause.
What to Expect
Celebration
We honor brave survivors and acknowledge the extraordinary courage of those currently in the fight.
Community
The Soirée brings together dedicated donors, local healthcare partners, vital volunteers, and neighbors who share a profound common commitment to this region.
Impact
Every ticket, every paddle raise, and every table sponsorship goes directly to funding the Blue Mountain Cancer Foundation's mission for the fiscal year ahead.
"The Soirée has always been the heartbeat of our community. By bringing its management directly under the Blue Mountain Cancer Foundation, we ensure that every dollar raised is deployed more quickly and efficiently to the neighbors who need it."— Blue Mountain Cancer Foundation
