Fantasy Event

The Fantasy Event is recognized as Gainesville's premier fundraising event of the year! It is a spectacular party- a party with a purpose!.
The 2011 "Rock and Roll Fantasy" was another success in raising funds for local pediatric cancer research. Thank you to all who attended.
One lucky person won the evening’s grand prize—a luxurious 7 Night Cruise for Two, compliments of AAA Travel and Celebrity Cruises! This year we also gave away a car as part of the annual Bear-A-Thon!
Partygoers have the opportunity to bid on live and silent auction items, play casino games and have a professional photograph taken. Every year there is a performance by a local dance group and appearances by special celebrity guests.
Held every spring, The STOP!® CHILDREN’S CANCER, INC. Fantasy Event transforms the Stephen C. O’Connell Center on the University of Florida campus into an incredible evening’s experience. With awesome decorations reflecting the current year’s theme, The Fantasy Event, black tie optional, features live music with dancing, Vegas style gaming, and delicious theme based food with open bar.
Attending the Fantasy Event allows you to participate in a fun filled evening while contributing to pediatric cancer research. Plan to join your friends at a corporate table or purchase individual tickets for an evening you won’t soon forget!
