On being at the 2026 Angel Ball GALA, Dayne remarked, “This is a full-circle moment. It’s really beautiful. I love Denise. I’ve known her for many, many years… nearly 30 years.”
“If you look around tonight, people are getting a lot! Tonight is about raising money and awareness for early detection, and that is where science meets the research.
“The Angel Ball is just a testament to her strong financial and philanthropic ways, representing her daughter and the essence of her family. Denise is an angel at heart; she really is,” she added.
Shaggy
On being a part of the 2026 Angel Ball, Shaggy remarked, “It feels good to be here! It has good vibes! Everybody here is dressed beautiful, and it’s a great cause.”
“Anytime you have the opportunity to come here in wonderful. I come from humble beginnings myself,” he admitted. “The organizers run this event like a well-oiled machine, and it always feels good. I am just blessed to be here.”
“The one thing I want people to get out of tonight is that there is hope, and you can still smile,” Shaggy added.
