 HE
Grand Ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria was turned into a cabaret as
it was filled with the songs of Broadway’s Anne Hampton
Callaway. She joined Matthew Broderick at the Cure For
Lymphoma Foundation (CFL) sixth annual cabaret.
Broderick was the honorary
chair of the evening that honored the nation’s top lymphoma
specialists and advocates His wife, Sarah Jessica Parker and
his mother joined him at the event.
Alan Hirschfield
dined with friend, Drew Nieporent, restaurateur of New
York’s Nobu, Tribeca Grill and Layla.
Hirschfield,
a member of the Cure For Lymphoma Foundation board, recently made a
generous and exciting $500,000 donation to the foundation’s
research program. It will serve as a challenge grant to be matched
by other donors to total $1 million.
The cabaret raised $1
million for CFL, which will fund the continuing fight against
lymphoma, the second fastest rising cancer. The Cure For Lymphoma
Foundation (CFL) is a nationwide, non-profit organization dedicated
to easing the burden and finding a cure for Hodgkin's disease and
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
CFL was founded in 1994 by
lymphoma survivor Jerry Freundlich and a committed group of
friends as a way to promote research and create a caring community
for all those touched by this disease.
Thanks to the generosity
and leadership of a wide array of supporters and advisors, the
CFLhas evolved into a major national force in the battle against
lymphoma. It funds top-level cutting edge research and provides tens
of thousands of people with information, support and hope.
