The Samuel Waxman Institute for Aging & Cancer will host its 12th Annual Waxman Luncheon on Wednesday, May 6, at Riverpark in New York City. The annual event will bring together philanthropists, supporters, members of the fashion community, and advocates for cancer research for an elegant afternoon in support of lifesaving scientific work.
This year’s luncheon will honor Corcoran Real Estate Broker Mary Slattery and fashion entrepreneur Alexandra Adame for their commitment to advancing lifesaving cancer research, while Safiyaa will be recognized as the event’s fashion presenter. The Waxman Luncheon unites guests around a shared mission to advance progress in the fight against cancer.
As in years past, the luncheon will feature live and silent auctions, offering attendees the opportunity to bid on unique items while supporting groundbreaking research. Funds raised will support the Samuel Waxman Institute for Aging & Cancer, an affiliate of The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research. Aging is the single greatest risk factor for cancer. The Waxman Institute was established to study aging biology and cancer together to further advance better treatments and prevention.
Event leadership includes Event Chairs Marion N. Waxman, Susan Pernick, and Dina Koutroumanis; Event Co-Chairs Erica Linden-Fineberg, Nancy Litman, and Helen Vaysman; and committee members Sandy Ackerman, Jessica DiPalma, Orital Karelic, Norah Lawlor, Lorri Scott, and Randi Schatz.
