The Epilepsy Foundation of Long Island’s ‘Purple Diamond Gala: A Royal Affair'

 The Long Island community is invited to receive the “royal” treatment in showing support for individuals
with epilepsy and developmental disabilities by attending The Epilepsy Foundation of Long Island’s ‘Purple Diamond Gala’. Guests will be treated like kings and queens as they are virtually transported to the likes of Buckingham Palace, courtesy of talents and time donated by the Nassau Community College’s Interior and Fashion Design Departments. Patrons will enjoy an evening of regal
dining and entertainment, fine cuisine, casino games, dancing and even mingling among Prince William and Duchess Kate look-alikes.  The night’s highlights also include a guest mistress of ceremonies and celebrity honoree.

Taking center stage this year as honorees are
St. Charles Hospital of Port Jefferson, NY as Corporate Honoree; David Anschel, MD of Rocky Point, NY,
Director of Clinical Neurophysiology at St. Charles
Hospital, as Professional Honoree; The Garske Family of Wantagh, NY as Family of the Year; and this year’s
Community Leadership Award Honoree will be announced.

Proceeds from Galaattendance, sponsorships and raffle drawings will benefit the vital programs and services that the Epilepsy Foundation of Long Island provides for
individuals with epilepsy and other developmental disabilities and their families.
