THE GOALS THAT GUIDE OUR GIVING

At the Gala of Hope Foundation, we believe the fight against cancer starts at home. We fuel progress by investing in local nonprofits that are improving outcomes for patients, advancing cancer research, and improving access to life-saving care.

Our goal is simple: to help Dayton-area nonprofits maximize their impact so we can move closer to ending cancer. 

Until that day comes, we’re committed to ensuring every patient can access treatment and receive the support they need throughout their journey.

Our History:

Our History:


The Foundation was established in 2014 by Bob and Barbara Mills, whose lives were forever shaped by cancer. As they began raising funds to support cancer-related causes, they were deeply moved by how many of their Dayton-area neighbors were eager to give back. 


Motivated by that generosity, they created the Foundation with a simple promise: when someone gives to this mission, their support stays rooted in the community that inspired it. Every dollar raised is an investment in the people, providers, and solutions working to advance cancer care in the Dayton region.


Since then, the Gala of Hope Foundation has united individuals, businesses and healthcare providers around a shared vision: to improve outcomes for cancer patients and bring hope to every step of the journey.


Every grant we make reflects the trust of our donors, and the strength of a community determined to face cancer together.
