This year marked the inaugural year of the Ruth Chip Spaulding Endowment, honoring a woman who has always chosen generosity over recognition as a devoted friend of the Ellie Fund.

Chip has long believed in the healing power of flowers and small moments of beauty during incredibly difficult days. Through her dedication, flowers have become a meaningful part of the care Ellie Fund provides to patients and families.

On gala night, something extraordinary happened. Patients who had received those very flowers presented Chip with flowers of her own.

A full circle moment of gratitude, compassion, and community.

Thank you, Chip for reminding us that the simplest gestures can carry the deepest care.

This Sunday, we are honored to celebrate Elin Hilderbrand as the recipient of the Eleanor Rose Popkin Award at the 30th Annual Ellie Fund Red Carpet Gala.

Known to millions as the “Queen of the Beach Read,” Elin has spent decades transporting readers to Nantucket summers filled with love, resilience, and human connection. But in recent years, she has also shared a deeply personal chapter of her life, her journey through Breast Cancer.

In the decade since her diagnosis, Elin has written 14 bestselling novels, continuing to captivate readers while navigating treatment, raising her family, and choosing to live boldly.

Her life is proof that a diagnosis may shift your perspective, but it does not define your future.
“You don’t wait for the storm to pass. You live fully in the sunshine you’re given.”
- Elin Hilderbrand

At this year’s Red Carpet Gala, we celebrate not only her extraordinary literary achievements, but the hope she represents to every person walking this path.
This is more than an event.
It is a statement.
A celebration.
A room filled with strength, style, and purpose.

As we mark 30 years of Ellie Fund, we are proud to honor a storyteller whose voice continues to inspire resilience and remind us all that no one should face breast cancer alone.
