Every bid tells a story. Every dollar lightens a load.

On October 29th, 2026 from 6pm-10pm at the Florida Blue Ballroom, our community will gather for the Second Annual Lone Warrior Foundation Gala & Online Auction—an evening celebrating courage, remembrance, and unity across every cancer ribbon color. Guests will enjoy a gourmet dinner, inspiring speakers, and a powerful silent auction, with 100% of proceeds fueling direct assistance for single parents in active cancer treatment.

Our Mission

Lone Warrior Foundation exists to ensure no single parent fights cancer alone. We provide financial aid, community support, and practical help through our Lifestyle Assistance Fund and volunteer network—serving families in Jacksonville, FL, and beyond. Eligibility centers on single parents with dependent children in active treatment, where we step in with short- and long-term support.

Why Your Bid Matters

A winning bid tonight can become:

Gas, groceries, or childcare so a parent can make chemo on time.
Rent or utility assistance that keeps a family stable during treatment.
A lifeline of community when the calendar fills with scans, not paychecks.

Your generosity sustains the practical, immediate help that keeps households afloat during the hardest fight of their lives.

How to Participate

Bid generously on auction items—every dollar powers assistance for single-parent families in treatment.
Make a donation to the campaign if you prefer to give directly.
Sponsor a table or share this page with friends and local businesses who want to stand with our families.

Together, we can change one life—and save one life—by showing single parents they’re never alone.
