The event will be emceed by long-time TS Alliance supporters Jim O'Heir from Parks and Recreation and Bless This Mess, Alex Skuby from King of Queens and comedian Craig Shoemaker.
For their outstanding commitment to combatting TSC, the TS Alliance will also honor The Carroll Family with the Courage in Leadership Award and Edina Kiss as a TSC Champion during the event.
