Survivor Recognition Fun-Raiser

Was fabulous!!!
Teresa Doherty



The Tommy Gunn Band


Laura Caravella

We have so many people to thank for an outstanding event...

...our honorees, Rebecca, Laura and Teresa ...who inspire, strengthen and empower all of us with their faith, courage and positive energy!!!

...you see the photo of the Tommy Gunn Band - well,  they pulled the night together, leaving everyone wanting more ...thank you Danny and the Tommy Gunn Band.

...another important highlight of the night was the food, donated by Donna of Popei's Clam Bar, Deer Park.  Days later, attendees are still talking about the delicious food - some going back for 3rd helpings (of salad, of course).

...Jen of  Your Local Kid's Source of Long Island who generously donated the red and white wines for the evening....

...we had 36 baskets - thank you everyone for reaching to friends, family and local businesses to amass these, and to everyone who helped us put them together...

...thank you attendees for coming out to support our first "survivor recognition" event - the raffles and 50/50 alone raised $2500+ ....

...and our family and friends, who are always working the sidelines and putting up with the tension and fear of these last minute wrinkles - that always come about ....

...our Board of Directors...Kim, Peggy and Teresa - "out of the park" generosity and effort in making this event successful!

....thank you everyone for understanding why Strength for Life exists...when you listened to these honorees and heard their stories, their histories and their absolutely incredible spirit...you see this is what we want to share with others....Evelyn was our inspiration and her memory lives on each time we share her story and allow Strength for Life to be part of her legacy.
