HNC Living Foundation’s premier fundraising event, MASKS for AID, connects patrons to stunning visual, culinary, and performing arts to raise funds to support those living with a head and neck cancer diagnosis. This year’s event marks both a milestone for the HNC Living Foundation and a personal triumph for its founder, Teresa Walsh: a decade of HNC Living Foundation and Teresa’s own survivorship—10 years cancer free.
The tenth annual HNC Living Foundation MASKS for AID will celebrate a decade of amazing visual, performing, culinary and healing arts. Patrons can expect inspiring patient stories, an inside look at the transformation of a patient’s radiation mask by celebrated artists, and fine food and beverage they have come to expect from this prestigious event.

MASKS for AID 2021: INTERRUPTED
The celebrated return of signature events in 2021 raised more than $350,000 in much-needed funding to help our clients. MASKS for AID was presented virtually in April 2021 to over 300 viewers and continues to reach more. The program features Melinda’s journey from diagnosis to receiving dentures through HNC Living Foundation’s partnership with Delta Dental; plus the debut musical performance of “Keep Me Alive,” by Kaden, HNC Living Foundation’s youngest patient ever.
Melinda now works at HNC Living Foundation, assisting with patient grant counseling and follow-up. “Keep Me Alive” has surpassed 60,000 streams and Kaden’s music career is growing exponentially. These are just two of the thousands of patients who enjoy fuller, more meaningful lives thanks to resources provided by HNC Living. Your support for HNC Living Foundation makes it possible!
