At Ring the Bell Benefit, one of the most special moments of the evening is the presentation of the Heart of Gold Award. 💛 Created in memory of Monica Sandoval, the award recognizes the extraordinary friendships that so often sustain children and families through childhood cancer. When Reese was fighting cancer at just 10 months old, Monica was like a big sister to her and many of the younger children she met during treatment. Even while facing her own cancer journey, Monica filled hospital days with joy, encouragement, and kindness, always making time to check in on others. Today, Monica's legacy lives on through an award that's passed from one recipient to the next, honoring those who show up for others with remarkable kindness. As we gather to support Reese's Fund, we also celebrate the friendships that emerge in hospital hallways, clinic waiting rooms, and treatment floors. For many children facing cancer, these relationships become a source of understanding, laughter, and strength during some of life's hardest moments. The Heart of Gold Award honors those extraordinary friends whose kindness leaves a lasting impact, just as Monica's did. 💛 A special thank you to our Presenting Sponsors—Voyles Automotive, Glover Park Brewery, Poole's Pharmacy, and Encore Hospitality Carpet—and our Gold and Silver Sponsors. Your support helps make Ring the Bell Benefit possible and allows Reese's Fund to continue supporting children with cancer and advancing critical childhood cancer research. #CUREChildhoodCancer #RingTheBellBenefit #ChildhoodCancerResearch #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #Friendship #HeartofGold
