Diamonds and Demin Gala

Written by Ben Bryk Coldwell Banker Global Luxury

On Friday, December 5th, Vero Beach came together for one of the most meaningful evenings of the year: the annual Diamonds and Denim Gala benefiting the American Cancer Society. I’m thrilled to share that this year’s event was an overwhelming success, raising more than $325,000 to fund lifesaving cancer research, patient services, and education programs.

My partner Vance Brinkerhoff and I, along with the entire team at Vero Premier Properties, could not be prouder to once again serve as a major sponsor of this incredible night. From the moment guests walked through the doors at Magnolia Manor—dressed to the nines in diamonds paired with their finest denim—the energy in the room was electric. Laughter, generosity, and hope filled every corner as our community showed up in full force for an unforgettable cause.

The numbers speak for themselves, but the real story is in the lives touched. In the United States, someone hears the words “you have cancer” every 15 seconds. That heartbreaking statistic is exactly why nights like Diamonds and Denim matter so much. Every dollar raised goes directly toward groundbreaking research, free rides to treatment, lodging for patients traveling far from home, and the 24/7 support line that has answered millions of calls from frightened patients and families.

Vance and I are already counting down the days until next year’s gala. We are honored to commit once again as sponsors and look forward to making the 2026 event even bigger and more impactful.

To everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, or sponsored—thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Together, we are making a tangible difference in the fight against cancer, right here in Vero Beach and beyond.

Here’s to more diamonds, more denim, and even more hope in 2026!
