The Beth C. Tortolani Foundation will host its Eighteenth Annual Dinner Dance at Terrace On the Park in Flushing, New York on Saturday, May 3.
This year the foundation is honoring Dr. Charles C. Conte, a surgical oncologist at North Shore and St. Francis Hospitals and Director of Surgery at Forest Hills Hospital, and Dr. Dattatreyudu Nori, Chairman of Radiation Oncology at The New York Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College, for their commitment and dedication to women with breast cancer.
The Beth C. Tortolani Foundation was founded in 1996 in memory of Beth, who died of breast cancer at age 50. Donations from friends, hospitals and corporate sponsors have helped the Foundation offer assistance and educational programs for breast cancer patients and their families and continue to support transitional research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
The foundation has raised over $3 million and has sponsored programs extending through the five boroughs of New York as well as Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties and continues to accept applications for grant proposals.
For more information about the Beth C. Tortolani Foundation and its programs, or if you would like to attend the dinner dance, please call the administrative director, Terry DeLauro, at 516-783-5398 or visit their website at bctfoundation.org.
