June 2, 2011 – The 6th Annual Summer Soiree By Day, presented by the National Pediatric MS (multiple
sclerosis) Center at Stony Brook Long Island Children’s Hospital, features an afternoon of delectable dining, entertainment, and auction prizes. The event, which starts at 11:30 a.m., benefits pediatric MS research conducted at the Center. It will be held at the Glen Head Country Club in Glen Head, N.Y., on July 26.
The Summer Soiree is a themed event where guests dress in “casual chic” to fit the warm season. A portion of the event proceeds will benefit the Team Adventure Camp Program, an annual free summer camp program for adolescents living with MS.
Well-recognized entertainers Lainie Kazan, Joely Fisher, and Michele Lee will perform selections from the hit Broadway show “The Vagina Monologues.” Throughout the buffet, a live and silent auction will also take place.
