Miracles for Mya, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting children with cancer, will host its Second Annual Gala on March 8, 2025, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing efforts to bring hope and joy to pediatric cancer patients.
Founded in 2018, the organization has donated over 9,000 toys to children at local hospitals in Northeastern Illinois. The upcoming gala represents a critical fundraising opportunity to continue its impactful work, with proceeds directly supporting families facing the challenging journey of pediatric cancer.
The event, taking place at Tuscany Falls Banquets in Mokena, Illinois, will offer guests an evening of entertainment, including music by Chicago DJ Eddie V, dinner, dancing, and an open bar. Ticket holders will also have the chance to participate in raffles featuring prizes such as a $1,000 Southwest Airlines Gift Card, a PlayStation 5, and a Go Kart.
Misti Alberico Tinajero, President of Miracles for Mya, emphasized the event’s significance, noting that it builds upon the success of their inaugural gala. The organization has distributed over $160,000 in toys and financial aid over the past seven years, with the 2024 holiday season being particularly impactful.
The nonprofit was inspired by Mya Tinajero, who courageously battled stage IV Neuroblastoma. Despite her diagnosis at age 4, Mya was known for her resilience, kindness, and unwavering spirit. Her legacy continues through the organization’s mission to support children and families navigating the difficult landscape of pediatric cancer.
The gala represents more than a fundraising event; it is a celebration of hope, community support, and the remarkable strength of children facing critical health challenges. By raising awareness and funds, Miracles for Mya continues to make a tangible difference in the lives of families confronting pediatric cancer.
