Atlantic City, NJ -- Nestled between the end of Childhood Cancer Awareness and beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness months, celebrity hairstylist Martino Cartier will host the 2024 Wigs & Wishes Gala at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 4 p.m. Wigs & Wishes is a non-profit organization that provides over 25,000 wigs and hundreds of wishes to recipients fighting cancer each year at no cost.
Cartier, the foundation’s founder and New Jersey 101.5 morning show host Bill Spadea will preside over the gala's festivities featuring drinks, hors d'oeuvres, dancing, and more. During the event, Cartier will crown a queen of the night during a live performance by Frankie Zulferino, who will also grant a wish to a child battling cancer during the event. Additionally, guests will be treated to a 30-minute concert by Zulferino at the start of the gala. Highlights from the 2023 gala can be viewed here.
"The Wigs & Wishes Gala is the culmination and celebration of the efforts our dedicated team puts forward throughout the year,” Cartier said. "Our mission is to give these courageous people a chance to honor their journey and enjoy a special evening dedicated to them.”
“Hard Rock Atlantic City is honored to host the Wigs & Wishes Gala,” noted George Goldhoff, Hard Rock Atlantic City President. “We are humbled to be a part of these brave individuals’ journeys and look forward to giving them an unforgettable evening of fun and celebration.”
Following the gala, DJ-based dance party Gimme Gimme Disco will transport Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena back in time to the 1970’s with a disco-themed celebration. Guests are encouraged to dress in their favorite disco attire as the DJ takes them to the heart of the era with all the classic hits from ABBA, The Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Cher, and more. Tickets cost $20 and proceeds from tickets sold will directly benefit Wigs & Wishes.
