Glen Cove Cares Gala Beats the Odds

The organization, which provides support for patients and loved ones dealing with cancer, holds a Casino themed fundraising gala each year

Glen Cove Cares is a non-profit organization that provides education and other services and support for patients, survivors and family members who are dealing with cancer.

Early each year, the organization holds an annual fundraising gala. The double entendre of “Beating the Odds” is very fitting theme for this gala that holds a Monte Carlo event, proceeds from which further their cause of increasing awareness of and support for cancer patients, survivors and those who love them.

As usual, the 20th Annual Gala Dinner Dance, held on January 24 at The Metropolitan in Glen Cove, didn’t disappoint. The festive evening featured games of chance, raffles, prizes, live entertainment, cocktails, dinner and dancing. Proceeds are used to help raise awareness and funds for an important cause that has affected us all.
