On Friday, April 5, the North Fork Breast Health Coalition will again celebrate breast-cancer survivors, providers and caregivers at the Fifth Annual Pink Pearl Gala of the non-profit organization. The cocktail reception, seated dinner and dancing to music selected by DJ Phil of Make Some Noise DJs will be held from 6-10 PM at East Wind, 5720 Route 25A, Wading River.

This year’s gala will be a tribute to Lucia’s Angels, which will be represented by President and Co-Founder Stacy Quarty as well as Co-Founder Susie Barry Roden. The foundation is committed to helping women and families on Eastern Long Island with late-stage women’s cancers including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer and uterine cancer. Lucia’s Angels was created in loving memory of Lucia Terzi Bagan.

Seating for the inspiring, wear-pink event will be available for $125 per person and $95 for breast-cancer survivors through the NFBHC website, www.northforkbreasthealth.org or www.nycharities.org. To reserve individual seating or reserve tables for a group, please leave a message at the coalition office in Riverhead at 631-208-8889.

She was also master of ceremonies for the previous four NFBHC galas, which were very successful with hundreds of people attending each of them.
