Watch the biggest night in film with
good company, good food, and for a good cause! The Upper West is hosting an
Oscars Watch Party for the second year in a row. This special event supports an
important non-profit organization…the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
The Upper West is giving back
generously at this event. The restaurant will donate 25 percent of all sales on
Oscar night to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, which is dedicated to
advancing research, treatment, awareness, support and cures for blood cancers.
This past November, due to the help of to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Eevie was able to enjoy her 1st
birthday. She is completing her final round of high-dose chemo and has entered
the “maintenance” phase. She will continue to receive lower doses of
chemotherapy until she reaches her 2nd birthday. A recent flow cytometry
confirmed she is still in remission!
Co-host of the event, Sara Fay explains, “Lindsey
Adelstein and I are both volunteers and participants in a program called Team
In Training. It is run by the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and basically, we
fundraise for LLS in exchange for coaching and training for endurance events
like marathons, triathlons and 100-mile bike rides. It is a wonderful program
for all ages and all fitness levels that trains ordinary people to do
extraordinary things while raising money for an extremely important cause.”
Fay hosted the first Oscar event at Upper West last year. This year Lindsey Adelstein joins he as a co-host
for the event. Adelstein has been a volunteer for the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society for over eight years. “I got involved in 2008 when a friend suggested we
participate,” said Adelstein, “She had done it
before and we were both looking for something good to do with our time to help
others. I didn't have any connections to the cause at the time, but since
then have met many people dealing with blood cancers.”
Adelstein
has been
fundraising seven years in a row and said she was excited to have the event at
Upper West. I always enjoy going to Upper West. The food and atmosphere
are great, and the people are friendly.”
