News 12 Long Island Reporter Shari Einhorn will emcee the 20th Anniversary Pink Pearl Gala. She often covers health-related stories for the regional television station. She was also master of ceremonies for the previous three NFBHC galas, which were very successful with hundreds of people attending each of them.
The North Fork Breast Health Coalition is currently led by President Susan Ruffini. The all-volunteer, nonprofit organization supports local breast-cancer patients with programs such as Helping Hand grants. Funds raised by the gala will also allow the group to continue to provide free services such as gentle yoga, reflexology, meditation class and massage therapy to breast-cancer patients and survivors.
Ann Cotten-DeGrasse and her late husband, Antonio, founded NFBHC in 1998 because they saw a great need for such an organization on the North Fork, where there is an especially high rate of diagnosis of the disease. A retired teacher, Ann has also served as president of the Riverhead School Board. The gala was named for the late Pearl Philindas, past president of the coalition.
The North Fork Breast Health Coalition serves breast cancer patients and survivors in the Township of Riverhead, which includes parts of Calverton, Manorville and Wading River; the Township of Southold; the Township of Shelter Island; and the Hamlets of Flanders, Riverside and Northampton in the Township of Southampton. |
