Sienna's Gold Gala was created in loving memory of Sienna Cavallo. Sienna passed away at the age of 9 in August of 2008 from Osteosarcoma , a form of bone cancer. Sienna lived a life full of love and laughter and worked tirelessly to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer. In her 9 years of life she left a lasting impression on many people. During Sienna's treatment she attended Camp Sunshine. At camp, she felt like a normal 9 year old despite being bald and taking a dose of medication every morning. She swam, hiked, did art projects, played volleyball, performed in the talent show and went bass fishing. Just a kid, just doing what every kid does at summer camp! In her memory, her parents Joe and Patty along with her brother Jaiden and sister Kahealani host this gala in her memory to raise money for the camp that brought her sunshine on dark days, Camp Sunshine.
