Our inaugural fundraiser

Quarterback Your Health Gala

Friday, August 21, 2026 · Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Suncoast Parkway · Lutz, FL

Thank You.

On Friday, August 21, a sold‑out room came together at the Hilton Garden Inn Tampa Suncoast Parkway for the inaugural Quarterback Your Health Gala — and what an evening it was.

To everyone who bought a ticket, sponsored a table, bid in the silent auction, donated, or simply showed up to stand beside Stephen and Masha: thank you. You didn’t just fill a room. You funded screenings. You helped us reach people before cancer gets the chance to write their story for them.

The night ran on guest speakers, a silent auction, and the message Stephen gives everyone he meets: listen to your body, and get checked.

This was our first. It won’t be our last.
