Huntington Station, NY, October 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ —

United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) is proud to announce its highly anticipated Holiday of Hope Premiere Gala will be hosted by actress and producer Vivica A. Fox, and emceed by actor Larry Romano, known for his beloved role in “The King of Queens”. The Gala will take place on Saturday, November 9th, 2024, and will serve as a major fundraising effort in support of breast cancer patients and survivors.

Vivica A. Fox, an accomplished actress, producer, and TV personality known for her powerful roles in “Independence Day” and “Kill Bill”, is a dedicated advocate for breast cancer awareness and support. “Dawlings I’m so honored to host ’The Holiday Of Hope Premiere Gala’ Fox shared. “Let’s kick off the holidays with a fabulous celebration! I’ll see ya there!”

Larry Romano, widely recognized for his role as Richie Iannucci in the hit sitcom, “The King of Queens”, will not only emcee the evening’s festivities but has also donated his iconic leather jacket from the show for auction. Proceeds from this special auction item will go directly to UBCF, providing financial support for crucial services like breast screenings, treatment assistance, holistic therapies, and more for those battling and recovering from breast cancer. “I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible night,” said Romano. “By donating my jacket, I hope we can raise awareness and funds to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.”

The United Breast Cancer Foundation Holiday of Hope Premiere Gala will be an unforgettable evening of entertainment, inspiration, and philanthropy, featuring a red-carpet welcome, live performances, and exclusive auctions—all in support of UBCF’s mission to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer.
