Tickets now on sale for Piedmont Oncology's Luminaria Gala

Atlanta (July 10, 2026) — Piedmont Oncology will host its second Luminaria Gala on October 24 at the St. Regis Atlanta, presented by Brasfield & Gorrie. The fundraiser will support Piedmont’s systemwide expansion of cancer research, care delivery, and wellness programs for the tens of thousands of cancer patients that Piedmont Oncology cares for each year across its 40 locations.

Alongside presenting sponsor Brasfield & Gorrie and Platinum sponsors Lockton Companies and Truist, the 2026 Luminaria Gala will be led by honorary chairs, Mary Kent and Jeremy Ellis. The Ellises are longtime supporters of Piedmont, investing most recently in the Sherron Berg Early Detection Pancreatic Cancer Program, as Mary Kent is actively receiving treatment as a survivor of pancreatic cancer for more than eight years.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception followed by a formal dinner program featuring patient stories and silent and live auctions. WSB-TV anchor and grateful Piedmont patient Wendy Corona will emcee the evening.

“Piedmont Oncology’s mission is to provide exceptional and compassionate cancer care aligned with discovery and innovation at every Piedmont location across Georgia,” said Whitaker Endowed Chief of Piedmont Oncology Walter J. “Wally” Curran, Jr., MD, FACR, FASCO. “Luminaria is an excellent opportunity to illuminate and celebrate Piedmont Oncology’s exceptional work—and to support the pursuit of innovations and discoveries that will advance the cancer care of tomorrow. We hope you'll join us for a memorable evening that will make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of Georgians.”
