Thank you to all who attended, donated, sponsored,
volunteered, spread the word and/or otherwise helped to
make The Max Cure Foundation's "Roar for a Cure"
Carnival on Saturday, August 22 in East Hampton, NY such
a huge success.
Over 1,000 people attended
The benefit raised over
$300,000.00
Guests included: Supermodel
Christie Brinkley, Actor Aida Turturro ("Janice Soprano," The Sopranos); Golf
great Justin Leonard; Former NFL player Vyto Kab
(NY Giants); NY Congressman Jim Bishop; and actor,
model, musician Keli
Price.
The event was MC'd by WKTU's Radio personality Goomba Johnny
and the pop music group Push Play performed live and
signed autographs.
They closed the beaches in the Hamptons the weekend of
our event because the tides were high and the ocean was
roaring. However the sun was shining despite Hurricane
Bill. There clearly was a stronger force present - there
always is. The Roar For A Cure Carnival was
meant to be. The Carnival was a huge success and the
money raised was beyond our expectations.
Thanks to all for your support, donations and generous
contributions. More to come. Stay tuned...
