The highly anticipated auction and epicurean event will feature an impressive variety of savory and sweet tastings, a performance by Emmy Award-winning comedian John Mulaney, and extensive silent auction prizes. It will be held at 6:30 p.m. on March 28 at Fresh Meadow Country Club in Lake Success.

“Gatsby’s Landing has participated in this event for the last four years, and it’s something we look forward to every spring,” says Glenn Falcone, owner, Gatsby’s Landing. “It’s incredible to see the community come together for a night of fine dining, entertainment and auction prizes all in the name of a great cause.”

The programs serve all individuals and populations including children and teens with special needs, adults afflicted with Alzheimer’s, and those with a cancer diagnosis.
