The Gala, first organized 28 years ago by former Chesapeake Beach Mayor Gerald W. Donovan and his
brother Fred, co-owners of the Rod ‘N’ Reel, is a celebration of life with proceeds going to the American
Cancer Society for research, education, and patient services. In 1982, the first
event raised $5,300.
Since then, combined earnings have reached nearly $4 million and continue to grow!
Approximately 40 percent of the money raised stays right here in Calvert County to support such
programs as the Road to Recovery, I Can Hope, Look Good…Feel Better, Man to Man, and Reach to
Recovery. The American Cancer Society is also very active in educating the community about early
detection and prevention.
The Honorary Chairs this year are Delegate Sue and Steve Kullen. Please join them in honoring
memories of our loved ones and to celebrate the lives of all cancer survivors.
This year’s event promises to be another fun-filled evening with a menu that includes Maine lobsters,
shrimp, oysters, clams, mussels, crabs, and fresh fish, as well as roasted pig, filet mignon, barbeque
ribs, grilled chicken, steamship round, and desserts galore. Enjoy an open bar, live music, and dancing
inside and out.
Rays of Hope Luminaries to honor cancer survivors or those who have lost their lives to cancer will be
available at the event.
Tickets may be purchased at any Calvert County Community Bank of Tri-County branch, at the
Rod ‘N’ Reel Restaurant, and online above.
Hotel rooms are available for Gala patrons only (use promotional code gala10 when making your
