More than 175 kids (and parents) attended the Kids Cancel Cancer fundraiser benefiting the Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation. The event, created and organized by four teen advocates – Mischa Abend, Abey Fuks, Ava Litman, and Hayley Silvers — raised very close to its $100,000 goal. The Foundation plans to create a Kids Cancel Cancer Pediatric Research Grant in honor of the co-chairs and committee. This special fund will help support a pair of investigators for up to two years.

The teenage co-chairs also recruited 18 friends to serve on the committee who assisted in selling tickets, garnering sponsorships, donations, and volunteered at the event. In addition to raising vital funds for groundbreaking research, the event held at The Clubhouse in East Hampton on August 17, was an entertaining evening of arcade games, bowling, great food, raffle prizes, danceing, and a thrilling live auction.

Attendees included Dr. Samuel Waxman, Marion Waxman, Nancy Litman, Ava Litman, Ruth Abend, Mischa Abend, Helen Vaysman, Abey Fuks, Lauren Silvers, Hayley Silvers, Chris Arlotta, Deana Passarelli, Terence Kawaja, Flavia Kawaja, Beryl Gross, Vanessa Gordon, Greg D’Elia, Jean Shafiroff, Cagri Kanver, Dena K. Weiner, and David Rozenholc.
