The Ty Louis Campbell Foundation (TLC), a non-profit organization that funds pediatric cancer research, recently hosted its fifth annual gala on March 9, 2019, at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich. This year’s “Masquerade Gala” kicked-off with a cocktail hour followed by dinner, music by NYCE Productions, dancing, live and silent auctions, casino tables, and entertainment. The Gala included a special award presentation to honoree Lori Pfiefer, who received the TLC “Heart of Gold” award for her exemplary efforts in supporting pediatric cancer research.

The annual gala is TLC’s largest adult-centered fundraising event of the year, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to funding new research treatments for children who are currently battling aggressive cancers. This year’s gala raised more than $100,000! To date, the TLC Foundation has raised more than $1.7 million for childhood cancer treatment research.
