While hosting a gala for A Free Bird, Godni had the profound honor of introducing the world to an extraordinary young talent—Elana Koenig, a courageous child star bravely battling cancer.
Elana first captured hearts with her singing debut at the A Free Bird gala, a moment that marked the beginning of her inspiring journey. She later auditioned for The Voice and, beyond her remarkable musical achievements, went on to become a dedicated nonprofit leader and cancer survivor.
Thanks to the unwavering support from A Free Bird, Elana became the face of several magazine features and publications, gaining valuable exposure to the arts community that helped shape her future. Through the organization’s nurturing environment, she found not only artistic growth but also a supportive family that empowered her to overcome adversity and inspire others.
