On May 24, the New York State Republican Assembly Delegation will host a “6 For A Cure” fundraiser to benefit local breast-cancer-awareness organizations 1 in 9 and Hewlett House. A dinner and auction will be held at Chateau Briand in Carle Place from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The delegation consists of six Republican assemblymen from Nassau County: Brian Curran (14th A.D.), Joseph Saladino (12th A.D.), David McDonough (19th A.D.), Thomas McKevitt (17th A.D.), Michael Montesano (15th A.D.) and Edward Ra (21st A.D.).
Since 1990, 1 in 9: The Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition has been committed to fighting the cancer epidemic through education, outreach, environmental advocacy and spearheading changes to legislation affecting cancer issues. Since a majority of breast-cancer cases fall outside the known risk categories, 1 in 9 is unique in looking at environmental factors as possible causes and in seeking and promoting ways to keep our environment healthy.
In 2001, 1 in 9’s Hewlett House opened to the public. Located at 86 East Rockaway Road in Hewlett, Hewlett House may look like an ordinary home, but inside sits a nonprofit community-learning resource center open to all members of the community. The goal of Hewlett House is to provide patients and their families a free, warm and welcoming place to obtain resources and education as well as a safe haven for those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Hewlett House offers people affected by cancer a place to come together, network and receive information.
“The members of the Nassau County Republican Delegation of the New York State Assembly are committed to supporting 1 in 9 and Hewlett House, two organizations that promote finding causes and cures, with the eradication of breast cancer as their ultimate mission,” said Curran.
A ticket for the 6 For A Cure fundraiser is $100. The evening will include a silent auction of donated items, including Jet Blue round-trip airline tickets to any destination.
