Where every dollar goes.

Your generosity doesn’t just fund a night — it funds a community. Every dollar raised expands the Laurie’s Love app, supports our outreach, and connects a warrior to the person who truly understands their journey.

“Before Laurie’s Love, my fight felt isolating. Connecting with other women going through the same journey has been life-changing. For that, I’ll be forever grateful.”
— Grace, Ovarian Cancer Warrior

Good to Know

Frequently asked.

What is the dress code for the evening?

Black tie optional. Think elegant — cocktail attire, suits, and gowns. Many guests embrace a bit of Old Hollywood glamour, but wear what makes you feel your best. Comfortable shoes are encouraged for dancing.

Do I need to know how to play casino games?

Not at all. Our professional dealers will happily walk you through every game — blackjack, roulette, poker, craps. The chips are just for fun and to keep the energy high; there’s no real gambling involved.

Is parking available at the venue?

Yes — complimentary valet parking is available for all guests. The venue address and detailed arrival instructions will be sent with your ticket confirmation.

Are tickets tax-deductible?

Laurie’s Love is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. A portion of your ticket purchase above the fair market value of food, beverage, and entertainment is tax-deductible. You’ll receive a tax receipt after the event.

Can I donate without attending?

Absolutely — and thank you. You can give anytime at laurieslove.org/donations, or you can participate in the live auction and Fill The Heart moment remotely. We’ll make sure your generosity is celebrated.

What if I can’t make it after I’ve already purchased?

Life happens. If you can’t attend, your ticket purchase remains a tax-deductible contribution to Laurie’s Love, and we’ll still recognize you in the event program.
