Stuart Scott's legacy lives on as V Foundation raises record-breaking $3.1 million at annual gala
In a night that honored the life and legacy of Stuart Scott, former ESPN anchor, the V Foundation for Cancer Research shattered its own records by raising a staggering $3.1 million in New York City.
The fifth-annual "Boo-Yah" event was a fitting tribute to Scott's courage and wit, who passed away ten years ago. The sold-out gala drew A-list guests including ESPN Chairman James Pitaro and actress Susan Scott, Stuart's sister, who has been instrumental in the foundation's success.
As a testament to Stuart's enduring impact, his catchphrase "Boo-Yah!" continued to resonate with those in attendance, while also giving voice to an important cause - cancer research.
The V Foundation, co-founded by ESPN and drawing from their shared inspiration, has grown significantly over the years, with its annual auction gala now boasting a record-breaking total of $400 million for research.
Last night's gala saw the debut of "Boo-Yah: A Portrait of Stuart Scott," a new "30 for 30" film detailing his life, including his courageous battle against cancer. Director and producer Andre Gaines praised Scott for his unwavering dedication to raising awareness about the disease, which has since inspired countless others.
Among those in attendance was broadcaster Randy Moss, who accepted the inaugural Stuart Scott Impact Award, expressing gratitude towards Scott's mother, Jackie, whose tireless efforts played a pivotal role in shaping her son into an extraordinary individual.
At this year's gala, Moss reflected on how Scott's courage paved the way for greater representation and inclusivity in media. His words served as a powerful tribute to the spirit of Stuart Scott, whose legacy continues to drive positive change through cancer research.
The V Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting cancer research, with every dollar donated directly contributing to groundbreaking scientific advancements.
As news of this record-breaking gala spread, those affected by cancer couldn't help but feel a sense of hope and renewed optimism. With the V Foundation leading the charge, it's clear that Stuart Scott's legacy will continue to inspire future generations.

he was so inspiring, not just because of his anchor skills but also for his bravery in sharing his cancer journey with us, it's crazy how much impact that had on ppl 
the fact that his legacy lives on through events like this gala is a testament to the power of human spirit 
and let's be real $3.1 million is nuts, but i guess when it comes to finding cures for cancer, we gotta be willing to shell out some serious cash 
$3.1 million is insane!!! 
the v foundation is doin some incredible work & i love how they're still raisin funds 4 cancer research 
. Seriously though, it's amazing to see how Stuart Scott's legacy lives on, especially with his iconic catchphrase "Boo-Yah!" still going strong 
. It's clear that the V Foundation is doing some awesome work in cancer research, and I'm not just saying that because I've had my fair share of awkward cancer fundraisers 
. Kudos to James Pitaro for attending (maybe even donating?), and Susan Scott for being a rockstar sis 
! Can't wait to see what the "30 for 30" film is all about, hopefully it's more than just a glorified obituary 
.
cancer research is so important, and its great to see ppl like randy moss using their platforms to spread awareness 
we need more of this positivity & inclusivity in media!
