The event will honor Glenna Kohl, who sadly lost her battle with melanoma on November 20, 2008, while raising awareness and funds to fight the fastest growing cancer in the US and the second leading cause of death in women ages 25-28.
"We are excited to be receiving so much support for this event," said Colleen Kohl, mother of Glenna Kohl and Co-Founder of the Glenna Kohl Fund for Hope.

The evening will include dinner, drinks, dancing, live and silent auctions, and entertainment provided by Boston band, Kahootz. The organization will welcome keynote speaker, Shonda Schilling, melanoma survivor and Founder of the SHADE Foundation of America. Funds raised from the event will be allocated specifically to melanoma research, raising awareness of the dangerous effects of tanning, and a scholarship to Glenna's alma mater, Salve Regina University.
