The Gala, first organized 29 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 Co-Chairs this year are Doug Hill, of WJLA fame, and Ted Leonsis, founder and chairman of Monumental Sports & Entertainment.  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.

Hotel rooms are available for Gala patrons only (use promotional code gala11 when making your reservation).
