Let’s Celebrate!

The Long Island Hospitality Ball is a premiere Long Island culinary, wine and spirits event featuring many of the top Long Island & Metropolitan restaurants and premier beverage companies benefiting the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. Guests enjoy a walk around tasting experience where they can sample mouthwatering dishes, taste premium wines and spirits, and enjoy the sights and sounds of an evening filled with music and entertainment as well as an exciting raffle featuring a wide array of prizes. The event is hosted annually by the Long Island Hospitality Ball volunteer committee which in the past has raised over $3.5 Million to support the fight against cancer.

The gala was created by Keith Hart, a hospitality industry mainstay and cancer survivor, to raise funds for charity by showcasing offerings from the region’s top restaurants, wine & spirit brands, nightclubs & entertainers as well as hotels & catering halls.

Keith Hart is best known for his eponymous marketing agency in New York’s nightlife and entertainment scene. Hart’s private battle with thyroid cancer, now in remission, inspired him to go public with his mission rallying the industry to join the fight against cancer through an extraordinary evening of dining, dancing and donating.

Newsday’s Jim Bernstein and Erica Marcus called the inaugural event “one of the largest fundraising events in years to raise money to battle cancer” and “a food-industry showcase.” The night of sensory delights continues to raise important and much needed funds in the fight against cancer.

The 2019LIHB took place on Monday, June 24, 2019 at the Crest Hollow Country Club, Woodbury, NY raised over $400,000 to support awareness and an eventual cure. Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2019 Long Island Hospitality Ball, benefiting the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund hosted by the Baldwin Family.

About the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund

The Baldwin family firmly believes that the key to finding a cure for breast cancer can be found by providing the funding necessary to allow researchers to learn more about this disease.

To date, there have been many significant advances in the methods of detection and treatments for breast cancer, yet many women continue to lose their battle for life every year as they succumb to the devastating effects of this disease. Our mission is to find a cure – nothing less.

The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund is committed to battling breast cancer by supporting both new and established researchers. To date, the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund has awarded more than 75 research grants totaling more than $5 million to medical research.
