The sixth-annual Suits and Sneakers Gala will take place on Friday, October 9, 2026 at the Fayetteville Town Center. Join us for an unforgettable evening filled with fun revenue enhancers, a thrilling live auction, a delicious dinner, signature cocktails and exciting surprises that will keep you on your sneaker-covered toes. Don’t miss this epic night! The event will be an exclusive evening for 500 of ACS’s closest friends and advocates to come together to further the important mission of American Cancer Society. Funds raised will support patient transportation and lodging grant programs in Arkansas. Suits & Sneakers is part of the nationwide collaboration, Coaches vs. Cancer, between the American Cancer Society and the National Association of Basketball Coaches. Since 1993, coaches have raised over $140 million for the American Cancer Society.
The American Cancer Society provides information and resources to help patients and their loved ones manage through cancer treatment and recovery, and to help with the emotional support they need. They also work to remove barriers that stand between the patient and lifesaving treatment. For many patients with cancer, transportation challenges can create barriers to receive the treatment they need. Many people need daily or weekly treatment, often for several months. Family and friends may help, but they may not always have the time or resources to provide every ride. The American Cancer Society is proud to provide transportation assistance to those in need, by giving free rides to cancer-related medical appointments.
For more than 10 decades, the American Cancer Society has been dedicated to pursuing better outcomes for every cancer, every life. Today, more people are surviving cancer than ever before, but there is still work to be done. Join us, support us, and help us end cancer as we know it, for everyone.
