Kyra’s Hope Foundation presents

ILLUMINATE

The Gala of Lights


Sunday, November 15, 2026 · 4:00 to 8:00 PM
Mercer Island Community Center · Festive Attire

One Evening, One Community

An evening of light for children facing cancer

ILLUMINATE gathers our community for a single purpose: comfort for children in treatment today, and breakthroughs for the children who come after them. Every seat, every bid, and every raised paddle funds hope boxes, direct family support, and pediatric cancer research.
