Events

Adrian had a gift for bringing people together. Every event we host does the same: rallying our community to support families, students, and athletes across Long Island.

Every event supports our three pillars: Teach. Coach. Care.

NOVEMBER 14, 2026 WORLD DIABETES DAY NEXT UP

24 Hours of Heart

Our online giving day. For one day during Diabetes Awareness Month, we invite everyone who loved Adrian, near and far, to give together. It’s also the perfect day to join the #7 Club and become a monthly supporter.

DECEMBER 2026

Holiday Heart Toy Drive

Every December, we make the season a little brighter for Long Island families going through a hard year. We adopt local families for the holidays and have an annual toy drive.

Community Blood Drive

Over the past two years, before our foundation even officially launched, our community came together to donate 176 units of blood. Every donation can help save a life. Roll up your sleeve and give in Adrian’s honor.

Celebrate Adrian: A Tribute to Heart, Courage & Community

Our signature evening of food, drinks, raffles, and a silent auction, celebrating Adrian’s life and the students, athletes, and families her legacy supports. The night also shines a light on brain aneurysm and diabetes awareness.

The Gilmore Game & Crimson Out

Every September, Shoreham-Wading River girls’ varsity soccer takes the field in honor of Coach Gilmore. The stands turn crimson for brain aneurysm awareness, we share the warning signs, and at halftime we recognize the season’s #7 player, chosen for embodying Coach Gilmore’s values.

Want your team to host its own Crimson Out game? We’d love to help.
