About Us

The Life Ring Foundation® is a nonprofit based in Roanoke, VA dedicated to uplifting children & family-based organizations by throwing them a life ring in times of need. Through personal experience with their daughter’s pediatric cancer journey, Co-Founders Kelly & Jessica Woolwine have made the primary mission of the Life Ring Foundation® to be the Fighting Kids Cancer℠ campaign.

Hosted by the Life Ring Foundation, this new event is a private, sponsorship only admission for an exclusive and unforgettable evening. This one-night experience benefiting the Fighting Kids Cancer campaign is dedicated to raising awareness and critical funding for expanding lifesaving resources in Southwest Virginia for families facing pediatric cancer and blood disorders. Kids right here in our region deserve all the best possible resources for top tier care, close to home.

This sponsorship only event is designed to cultivate meaningful relationships, celebrate the impact made so far, and inspire continued investment in the future of pediatric care across SWVA and beyond. Adding to the experience, Grammy Award-winning country trio Lady A will make a special guest appearance during the evening, creating a memorable moment for a cause greater than ourselves.
