Lung Cancer Research Foundation Hosts Sixteenth Strolling Supper

The Lung Cancer Research Foundation (LCRF) will host its Sixteenth Strolling Supper on Wednesday, November 7 at Gotham Hall in New York City. This year’s event will be hosted by WABC-TV’s Bill Ritter and will feature a special performance by Sutton Foster, Tony Award winner and star of Younger.

The Strolling Supper is LCRF’s signature gala and brings together members of New York City’s professional, social and philanthropic communities. Proceeds support LCRF and its mission to improve lung cancer outcomes by funding research for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure of lung cancer. The event continues to be LCRF’s largest annual fundraiser, raising over $17 million since inception.

“The Strolling Supper is such a special and meaningful evening,” said Dennis P. Chillemi, Executive Director, LCRF. “We are grateful and honored that so many lung cancer survivors and supporters come together year after year to raise awareness and funds for lung cancer research.”

More than 600 people are expected to attend the 2018 Strolling Supper. The event will also include a silent auction of artwork, sports memorabilia, luxury vacations and one-of-a-kind experiences. Attendees will also have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win a VIP Seaport District package, which includes a summer concert experience at Pier 17, a hotel stay at Mr. C. Seaport, dinner for two at Corso Como, and much more.

Tickets for the Sixteenth Strolling Supper start at $200. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit lcrf.org/strolling18.
