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.

Crowned by Vulture as “stand-up comedy’s most prolific storyteller,” Ali Siddiq has built a dedicated massive fanbase clamoring to attend his live shows and watch his masterful independently produced and released specials. He premiered his four-part stand-up series The Domino Effect 1-4 in 2022-2024 which has amassed over 47 million views. The storytelling saga cemented Ali’s reputation as a master craftsman of narrative comedy. Each chapter became a cultural event, landing Ali among the top-viewed comedians on YouTube year after year.
Also during that time, Ali released the special Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover (2023) which has amassed 6 million views. In 2025 alone he released 3 more hour standup specials, My Two Sons (12M+ views), Rugged (7M+ views) and Mondays (3M+ views). Deadline included Ali in their list of “Comics Who Won 2025” and My Two Sons earned Siddiq a 2026 NAACP Nomination for “Outstanding Variety Series or Special.” He will be releasing 3 more new hour specials in 2026 that have already been filmed. An emerging comedy mogul, Ali also executive-produces and distributes multiple specials for other comedians including Malik S. and Ryan Davis, with a 2nd special from Marcus D. Wiley coming up on February 1.
From Houston, TX, Ali developed his unmistakable voice in one of the most unlikely places — behind the walls of incarceration, where storytelling was survival, currency, and community. Comedy Central would later sent him back inside a Texas jail to film It’s Bigger Than These Bars (4M+ views). Today, that same voice has made him one of the most watched, respected, and consistently viral comedians in the world.
