This year, Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) has partnered with Saks
Fifth Avenue, Boca Raton to present a chic fashion luncheon, which
will feature a Best of Spring 2012 Fashion Show, as well as a shopping
boutique in which a portion of all sales will be donated to LRF. There
will also be high-end raffle prizes, including John Hardy Sterling
Silver & Diamond jewelry donated by Saks Fifth Avenue, Boca Raton, as
well as a live auction featuring a Canyon Ranch spa package for two in
Tucson, Arizona, and a three night stay at The Greenbrier Resort in
White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia.
More than 5,000 people were diagnosed with lymphoma â€" the most
common form of blood cancer â€" in Florida last year alone. To
raise critical funds for blood cancer research, the Lymphoma Research
Foundation (LRF) â€" the nation’s largest non-profit
organization devoted exclusively to funding innovative lymphoma
research and to serving those touched by the disease â€" will host
its Sixth Annual South Florida Luncheon on January 30, 2012 at St.
Andrews Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida. Over the past five years,
the luncheon has raised more than half a million dollars to support
the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s mission of eradicating
lymphoma and serving those touched by the disease.
“The South Florida Luncheon raises funds for lymphoma research
that can hopefully, one day, cure this type of blood cancer,â€
said Judith Bronsteen, one of the Luncheon’s co-chairs. “As
the wife of a lymphoma survivor, I know firsthand the impact that
investing in research can have, and I look forward to the day that we
eradicate this disease.â€
“We are honored to partner with the Lymphoma Research Foundation
for its Sixth Annual South Florida Luncheon, and to have the
opportunity to use fashion to find a cure for the most common type of
blood cancer,†said Shauna Graham McNellis, Marketing Director
for Saks Fifth Avenue, Boca Raton. “Saks Fifth Avenue, Boca Raton
is committed to serving those who are touched by lymphoma in its
community.â€
The charity event, which has now become a staple in the affluent South
Florida region, is co-chaired by Judith Bronsteen, Gladys Cook,
Elisabeth Dalfen, Ellen Liebman, Mitzi Oreman and Jane Yudell.
Dr. Morton Coleman, Clinical Professor of Medicine at Weill Medical
College of Cornell University and the Director of the Center for
Lymphoma and Myeloma at New York Presbyterian Hospital, will serve as
the event’s keynote speaker.
“As the mother of a lymphoma survivor, the Florida Luncheon is
especially meaningful to me,†said event co-chair, Jane Yudell.
“Each year, I am amazed at the generosity and commitment that all
of our supporters have to not only making the event such a wonderful
success, but to making a meaningful difference in the lives of all
those touched by lymphoma.â€
