After thoughtful consideration, we have strategically decided to pause the 2026 event and focus on the 2027 Big Sting. Rising expenses and increasing operational costs require us to reassess how we allocate resources to ensure the greatest possible impact. Rather than stretching our efforts thin, we are realigning and refocusing on our core mission: directly supporting individuals and families battling life-threatening diseases.

This pause is not a step back. It is a step toward strengthening our foundation. It allows us to evaluate, streamline, and ensure that every dollar raised works harder for the recipients we serve. Our commitment to helping people during some of the most difficult seasons of their lives has not changed. If anything, it has deepened.

We remain passionate about our mission and grateful for the community that stands behind it. Your continued support allows us to provide meaningful financial assistance to those who need it most. We look forward to returning stronger and more focused in the year 2027.
 

As we take this strategic pause, we are also launching a focused sponsorship initiative designed to create sustainable impact beyond a single event. Rather than concentrating our fundraising efforts into one evening, we invite businesses and community leaders to partner with us year-round to directly support disease recipients. This approach allows sponsors to play a more meaningful role in changing lives — with greater visibility, measurable impact, and direct alignment with our mission.

​

If you are interested in becoming a mission partner or exploring sponsorship opportunities, we welcome the conversation. Together, we can ensure critical financial assistance continues to reach those who need it most.

Thank you for believing in the work we do and the lives we strive to impact.  ♥️
