The event is produced by the family of Philip and Phyllis Messina in partnership with The John W. Engeman Theater.
The Philip and Phyllis Messina Family holds an annual event to raise money for the continuing works of Dr. Robert Kerr and the Neurosurgical unit at Huntington Hospital. In November of 2017, Philip Messina was diagnosed with glioblastoma and treated by Dr. Kerr. The exceptional care given to Philip and his family led to this yearly charitable gathering. All proceeds from the event will benefit Huntington Hospital in the memory of Philip and Phyllis Messina.
