Shining Knight Gala Sponsors
Through the Shining Knight Gala, we celebrate one patient's remarkable story of survival and the Shining Knight teams that made his or her recovery possible.
In addition, the Gala provides sponsors an opportunity to support the only comprehensive Level I adult, pediatric and burn trauma center in the region. A sponsorship of this event goes toward injury and violence prevention programs through the Trauma Center which provides organizations in Central Virginia with funding that can impact injury prevention efforts in their communities.
