Reunion of Champions

Celebrate Fire and Ice: Honoring Champion in Dermatology

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.

Alongside the ROC honoree, we recognize a Legacy Leader. These are the passionate champions, the visionaries, the warriors who inspire hope and pave the way for Sturge-Weber syndrome generations.

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

Friday, March 7, 2025 at 5:30 pm (EST)

Location: World Famous ICEBAR, Orlando, FL
Entertainment: Heavy hors d'oeuvres, cool drinks, and fiery entertainment will be served.

Why Fire & Ice?

We chose “Fire and Ice” as our theme to vividly represent the dual nature of the laser treatments that treat Port-Wine Birthmarks. The “fire” symbolizes the intense heat the laser generates, which targets and treats birthmarks. In contrast, “ice” represents the soothing cooling therapy that follows, helping to alleviate discomfort and protect the skin. This theme encapsulates the balance between power and comfort, highlighting our commitment to delivering effective yet gentle care.

Join us for this cool fundraising event at the World Famous ICEBAR.

“Experience the most popular ICEBAR in the World! Featuring 70 tons of hand-carved ice, the coolest cocktails in our signature ice glasses, shot skis, and more.” Your support is helping to make life easier for all people impacted by a birthmark or Sturge-Weber syndrome!

Don’t miss this extraordinary event!
