Our 2026 Charity Partner:
1Voice Foundation
The Benevolence Ball proudly supports 1Voice Foundation, a local organization providing life-changing care and hope for children with cancer and their families in the Tampa Bay area.
Our impact reflects what happens when powerful women come together to serve strong, united, and committed to making a difference.
About 1Voice Foundation
1Voice Foundation offers more than 20 programs and services for children battling cancer and their families across west central Florida. These programs support patients and families at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital, Tampa General Hospital, and the adolescent and young adult program at Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute.
Their services are designed to support every member of the family with emotional, educational, and financial assistance. 1Voice is a primarily volunteer-run organization with only one paid employee, allowing the majority of funding to go directly into programs and research.
A School and a Research Lab for Hope
In partnership with Hillsborough County Public Schools, 1Voice opened the 1Voice Academy – the first and only school in the United States created specifically for children with cancer. This unique school ensures that children can continue their education in a safe, understanding environment while undergoing treatment.
The foundation also funds and operates a pediatric cancer research laboratory led by Cameron Tebbi, M.D., who is working on developing a vaccine for leukemia and receives no compensation for this work. Each year, the 1Voice team travels to Capitol Hill for Childhood Cancer Action Days to advocate for increased federal funding for pediatric cancer initiatives.
Why This Cause Matters
The heart behind 1Voice Foundation comes from its founder, pediatric oncology social worker Mary Ann, who has spent over three decades serving families in the Tampa Bay area. Three years into her career, her 9-year-old son Jay was diagnosed with stage IV non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, just hours after her father’s own cancer diagnosis.
Jay passed away six months into treatment, and in his memory Mary Ann dedicated her life to creating programs that care for families walking the same path – especially the 1Voice Academy, which stands as a living tribute to his legacy.
