6th Annual Purim Party with a Purpose

Darlene Graham, Party Peeps, Characters, & More! For children of ALL ages, where proceeds are donated in memory of two tiny superheroes.

The 6th annual Purim Party with a PURPOSE on Sunday, March 5th from 10am to 1pm. This year the Purim event is geared toward children of ALL ages. Popular performer Darlene Graham, surprise character and facepainting by Clowns.com/Professional Kids Entertainment, Party Peeps/Dreamcatcher Entertainment, Princess meet & greet by Royal Events Princess Parties Inc., Magician & Mentalist Michael Rossetti, Photo Booth by R & D Photography NYC, and others are generously donating their time and talents. There will also be games and crafts, silent auction, raffles, and vendors (RS Dubs Ribbons, Spitfire Tutus, Lularoe, Stella & Dot, Tupperware, just to name a few). We are asking that guests bring NEW/UNUSED crafts items, stickers, etc. to be donated to hospitalized children in honor of Zachary Goldminz, a Ewing's Sarcoma survivor. All proceeds raised will go to worthy causes identified by two local families: Proceeds in memory of Adam Lefkowitz will go to The Steffens Foundation for Degos research. Proceeds in Memory of Zachary Merlin will go to Angela's House, a local agency providing intensive services to medically fragile children so that they can remain at home or in a homelike setting. Minimum donation of $20/family can be paid at the door – and contributions would be greatly appreciated from those who cannot attend (Make checks payable to: East Meadow Jewish Center, Memo: ‘Purim with a Purpose’).
