The spotlight was bright, but the mission shined brighter. 🌟
Life Savers 2026: Golden Age Gala raised over ✨ $200,000 ✨ for the McDade Hospitality House Campaign.
We were honored to celebrate Dr. Glenn Mills and Dr. Gary Burton for 40 years of extraordinary leadership and dedication to our patients — and deeply grateful to Monyetta for sharing her powerful story and reminding us why this work matters.
Every ticket purchased, every auction bid, every sponsorship brings us closer to opening the doors of the McDade House and keeping hope closer to home for cancer patients and families.
To everyone who dressed up, showed up, gave generously, and believed in this mission — thank you.

SHREVEPORT, La. — Organizers of the Life Savers Gala say this year’s event aims to push fundraising efforts over the finish line for a hospitality home to serve cancer patients
02/04/2026
This World Cancer Day, let’s make sure no one fights alone — or too far from home.🎗️🏠
At Feist-Weiller, closing the care gap means more than providing treatment. It means building the infrastructure to bring the world’s most advanced cancer therapies right here to North Louisiana.
Proceeds from Life Savers 2026: Golden Age Gala directly fund the renovation of the McDade Hospitality House, which means:
1️⃣ Our Shreveport-Bossier community has access to cutting-edge cancer treatments close to home.
2️⃣ Patients traveling from our rural communities can receive advanced care without the added burden of wondering where they’ll sleep or how they’ll afford it.
At the heart of Life Savers is a simple but powerful goal: keeping patients and families close to care when they need it most.
✨ Step into the spotlight with us on February 12.
