Cabaret at the Waldorf
Worth a Million Bucks

By JILL GOLDSMITH

THE 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.
