2026 Event Co-Chairs


Emily and Trevor Johnson

President, North Carolina Beverage Association; Financial Advisor, The Allman Johnson Group at Baird

We are incredibly honored to chair the American Cancer Society’s 2026 Discovery Ball! Cancer directly impacted our lives and family, when Emily was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2021. Our oldest son was 7 months old at the time. After 18 months of treatment, which included chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation, and a stem cell transplant, Emily remains cancer free today, and we welcomed our second son in September 2024. Our family has benefited from the work of the American Cancer Society, and we are thrilled to give back through fundraising for the 2026 Discovery Ball. We ask you to join us to support their mission to end cancer as we know it.
