American Cancer Society Hosts Fourth Annual Hope Gala at Mizner Park Cultural Arts Center & Jazziz Nightlife in Boca Raton Saturday, March 28, 2015 Event Chair, Danielle Queller Lifton, announces a Hollywood-Themed, Red Carpet, Black Tie Bash featuring Star-Studded Auction Items and Surprise Celebrity Guests! Boca Raton, FL January 15, 2015 The American Cancer Society’s signature fundraising event for South Palm Beach County, the Fourth Annual Hope Gala, will take place March 28, 2015 at The Cultural Arts Center and Jazziz at Mizner Park in Boca Raton, Florida. This year’s chair, Danielle Queller Lifton, creator of the Danielle Queller Collection and prominent Boca resident, says, "I am very excited to see the Hope Gala move to downtown Boca. Relocating to the center of the city during high season, together with our Red Carpet theme and the support of so many friends in Hollywood, has made this the most anticipated year yet. We are expecting an unprecedented turnout, and will be occupying both spaces at the Cultural Arts Center and Jazziz Nightlife. It's going to be an unforgettable night, benefiting an incredible cause - The American Cancer Society." Sponsorship Chair of the Hope Gala is Ramon Palmero, President and Founder of STEFERI, LLC a Business Development Consulting company based in Delray Beach (www.steferi.com) which focuses on the Strategic Planning process that every company should have. He is now taking the lead to capture Corporate and Individual Sponsorships and raise $100,000 this year. His wife Danila Sigal was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2002 with a 6 months prognosis. After several surgeries, radiation treatments, and a variety of chemo protocols, Danila continues in the battle against metastatic cancer (www.danilasigal.com). With the advances of scientific findings and with the help of organizations like the American Cancer Society, she is better equipped to win the fight, and although still in chemo, Danila has an immense sense of gratitude for the opportunity to serve as a testimony of hope to others. The Danielle Queller Jewelry Collection is a favorite among the elite in Hollywood including superstars such as Eva Longoria, Brooke Shields, Bella Thorne, Miranda Lambert, Christina Hendricks, Patricia Arquette and many others.

As a global grassroots force of more than three million volunteers, we fight for every birthday threatened by every cancer in every community. We save lives by helping people stay well by preventing cancer or detecting it early; helping people get well by being there for them during and after a cancer diagnosis; by finding cures through investment in groundbreaking discovery; and by fighting back by rallying lawmakers to pass laws to defeat cancer and by rallying communities worldwide to join the fight. As the nation’s largest non-governmental investor in cancer research, contributing about $3.5 billion, we turn what we know about cancer into what we do. As a result, more than 11 million people in America who have had cancer and countless more who have avoided it will be celebrating birthdays this year.
