Charity Event Presented by Young Doctors Roanoke
An evening of honoring Legends & Leaders of Science & Medicine
This unique fundraising event celebrates the storied legacy of a once thriving and vital Gainsboro medical community. Black physicians, nurses, and First Responders were the pillars of the community. These healthcare professionals put caring for the community over everything. Their exceptional level of care and compassion was given to all regardless of the patient’s financial status. To this day many residents still have fond memories of the patient care their loved ones received at Burrell Memorial Hospital.
“Giving Them Their Flowers” Awards will be a night of remembrance, reminiscing, and reviving the spirit of genuine community care! Join Young Doctors Roanoke as we pay tribute to the legends of the past and leaders of today in the field of science and medicine. All proceeds from this event will go to sending our Young Docs to Summer Academy at the prestigious Howard University in June 2024.

Step beyond the jump-scare and into the real world of Death Investigation.

We’ll break down common myths, surprising truths, and the small details that speak louder than any ghost story. Whether you’re a writer, a horror fan, or just fascinated by the macabre side of science, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for the stories the dead can tell, if you know how to listen.
