Continuing Kate’s Vision – Celebrating 10 Years of Night Out For You

Kate Hockford, NOFY Founder, courageously battled stage 4 metastatic breast cancer until her passing in February 2025. Driven by compassion even in her own journey, Kate created NOFY in 2016 to offer joy and a mental health reprieve for local adults undergoing cancer treatment.

For 10 years, NOFY has provided "Experiences" - moments of hope, connection, and respite - to allow patients & their loved ones to step away from a cancer diagnosis and reconnect with who they are. Please join us for a fun evening as we honor Kate’s legacy and bring together community members, recipients, volunteers, donors, and supporters to celebrate 10 years of NOFY.
