The
SMSKCC will host its Preview Party, tomorrow night with
the opening of The International Fine Arts and Antique Dealers Show
on Thursday, October 16th at The Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue
at 67th Street. The evening’s ticket sales are a major source
of funding for SMSKCC, a volunteer organization whose mission is to
promote the well being of patients, support cancer research and provide
public education on the prevention, early detection and treatment
of cancer. Supporters will preview $250 million worth of fine art
and antiques, which will be on display.
SMSKCC was organized in 1946 and changed the whole nature of volunteer
work from the pre-World War II model of a “Lady Bountiful”
to that of a full partnership with the institution. The members became
directly involved in policy, fundraising and the support of research,
education and patient care programs. In addition to raising more than
$100 million, they have improved the ambience for the patients of
the cancer center, which has become the best in the country, by providing
recreational therapy, art, fresh flowers and religious services along
with attentive ears and caring hands.
For tickets and information on the Preview Party on October 16,
please call: 212-874-5457. |
