The Reunion of Champions (ROC) is a yearly fundraising kick-off event that supports Sturge-Weber syndrome research, education, awareness, and patient/caregiver support.
Each year the Reunion of Champions (ROC) takes center stage to celebrate one of the most outstanding dermatologists in the industry.

It’s a moment to celebrate impact, honor leadership, and plant seeds of hope.

Why Gems of Hope and Strength?
Beneath the waves of life lies a rare and radiant treasure, which is the individuals your foundation supports. Ruby also leans towards the color of a port-wine birthmark. This event celebrates rarity, resilience, and beauty with a sophisticated underwater and gemstone brilliance.
