Thank you for joining us for our 15th Anniversary Gala: The Promise Continues
Event was held Thursday evening, October 24, 2024 | Syracuse Oncenter
Fifteen years ago, Saint Agatha Foundation made a solemn promise to its founder – Laurie Mezzalingua, who left us after a 12-year battle with breast cancer. Simply put, that promise was to continue helping Central New York breast cancer patients with unmet financial needs – so they can focus on fighting their disease.
On October 24th at the Syracuse Oncenter, we celebrated 15 years of fulfilling that promise — at our 15th Anniversary Gala!
This special evening honored Laurie’s journey and those who stood by her side – including her exceptional doctors. We also heard from patients we’ve supported; celebrated achievements from the last 15 years – including helping over 12,000 patients across our region; and we recommited to fulfilling our original promise for years to come.
Thank you to all who attended, sponsored the event, or in any way helped this
milestone evening a great success. And a special thank you to our event Chair,
Lydia Johnson and Jim Towey, the evening’s master of ceremonies. We are so very
grateful for all of your help in fulfilling our promise to Laurie – to “help those who
can’t afford their illness.”
