Tracy Duinick I Events Manager

Tracy has been an event manager for close to thirty years, and 2026 marks her nineteenth-year planning the Humor to Fight the Tumor Gala. She was introduced to the cause in 2008 when her then six-year-old daughter Aubrey, who was born with a brain tumor, was selected as an honoree.

Aubrey underwent five brain surgeries and almost eight years of chemotherapy to treat her pilocytic astrocytoma, and overall treatment that lasted from 2005 through 2017. During this period Tracy witnessed changes and improvements in treatments and surgical techniques that were a direct result of HTFT funding. Aubrey is now 24 years old, and her brain tumor has been stable/dormant for over nine years. Aubrey has worked beside her mom for the past ten years and currently sits on the HTFT Committee.

Tracy served on the HTFT Board for many years and looks forward to continued growth of the organization and success for brain tumor research. In her spare time she loves traveling with her husband Jason, hiking with her dog Harvey and spending as much time as she can with her three adult kids.
