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.
