About this Event

Welcome to the Benjamin & Yancy Foundation’s 4th Annual Cancer Survivors’ Luncheon & Auction!

Join us on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at Messina’s on the Lakefront for an uplifting occasion of hope, strength, and celebration as we honor breast and prostate cancer survivors throughout Orleans Parish.

This year’s event will pay special tribute to the late Jean Benjamin Vappie, BYF Co-Founder and former President, and her husband, the late Russell M. Vappie, BYF’s former Sergeant-at-Arms. Both were survivors and lifelong advocates whose enduring legacy continues to guide the mission and heart of the Foundation.


BYF Luncheon Highlights Include:
  • Live Entertainment: Featuring New Orleans jazz vocalist Sharon Martin
  • Survivor Tributes & Recognition
  • Live Auction & Raffles
  • Gourmet Luncheon, Community Celebration, and MORE!

Whether you're a survivor, caregiver, or supporter, your presence helps uplift and empower those affected by cancer. Join us as we honor lives, celebrate resilience, and continue the fight together towards breast and prostate cancer cure. Let's make this year's BYF luncheon & auction a memorable and uplifting experience!
