Let me share something real with you.

When my mother was battling breast cancer, my brother and I did everything we could. Doctor’s appointments, chemo schedules, rides, prescriptions, bills—we were juggling it all. And on top of that, we had our own families, jobs, and homes to take care of. The stress was overwhelming.

And then—just when we needed it—the Babylon Breast Cancer Coalition stepped in. A few appointments into her treatment, they showed up at her bedside while she was recovering from chemo and simply said,
“We’ve got you.”

And I remember thinking, “Wait… you do this for everyone?”

And the answer was yes. Yes, they do.

Whether you live in North Babylon, Deer Park, Lindenhurst— anywhere in the Town of Babylon—they show up. Quiet heroes. No fanfare. Just compassion, consistency, and a clipboard.

To this day, I’ll do anything I can to support them—because I’ll never forget what that help meant to our family.

And here’s the thing: that kind of care requires people. Volunteers. A dedicated board. And people like you—donors who keep the mission going.

So, here’s what they're asking: $125.

That’s your donation. But it’s not just a donation—you’re not dropping money into a bucket and walking away. You’re getting a full night out:

👨‍🍳 25+ of Long Island’s best chefs
🍷 Wine and cocktails
🎶 Live music and great entertainment
🎟️ A fun experience with real impact.

It’s the 24th Annual Chefs for a Cause, happening on May 14 at The Piermont in Babylon. It’s one of the most incredible evenings you can have—and it’s all for a cause that truly matters.

But here’s the deal—you have to act soon.
The reservation deadline is April 30.

Let’s show up for the people who show up for us.
Support the work. Celebrate the survivors. Share a great night out.

I hope to see you there. And hey—come hungry.
