SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Hundreds of guests came together at Fort Mason on Saturday night to help families cope with childhood cancer.

The 21st annual Art Inspiring Hope Gala benefits Camp Okizu.

The Novato nonprofit gives children fighting cancer the opportunity to attend a camp adventure.

ABC7's Leyla Gulen, Dan Noyes, and Cheryl Jennings were all there to be part of the fundraiser.

ABC7 News has been a longtime supporter of the camp.
