And the crowning of this year’s new Queen of the Night – 30-year old Brittany Muszynksi of Fishtown who is presently fighting triple negative breast cancer. In addition to the commemorations, some 200 candles will be lit to celebrate those still fighting the deadly disease and a special presentation of the Heart of Gold Award will be given to Dylan DeSilvia, owner of Salon Cloud Plus, which helps women find local wig donations.
