Strength for Life was privileged to be a part of the 2nd Annual Tasting event held by SPOHNC (Support for People with Oral Head and Neck Cancer). This gala was held at the Stuart Thomas Manor, Farmingdale last night to a filled room. The goal was 200 and I believe they reached and exceeded their goal.
You may have read earlier blogs about SPOHNC - a group we so admire for their strength and support of each other and it showed last night. There were baskets galore for chinese auctions - which represented such hard work of collecting that array of gifts, the 50/50 peaked at $4600 because the sales force was busy and the food was 'scrumptous'. 40 restaurants donated a feast that spanned the width of the room - with more than enough to feed the masses.
We can never say enough about SPOHNC - their members are genuine, warm and welcoming and their resources are widespread. It gave me great hope to hear again that SPOHNC launched in 1991 with 9 people in a support group now has over 100 chapters (3 on Long Island). Their hard work and perseverance continues to shine and help others. Please take a moment and look through their website there is so much to learn about the incredible journey of Nancy Leupold, MA, President & Founder and others.
