Checkers Diabetes 50th Anniversary

Oct 24, 2003

By Catherine Barr

 

As the holiday season approaches, it's time to think about giving to a good cause. The fight against diabetes is one such cause that needs your help. But thanks to events like The Checkers 50th Anniversary Gala, which was held on Oct 24 at the Hyatt, those suffering from this disease are slowly gaining the upper hand. Galas and glam aside, it's the people that count.

Meanwhile, on Nov 1, the Arts Club Theatre celebrated its 40th Anniversary at the Sutton Place with no shortage of famous faces. Song and dance, impromptu entertainment and a charity auction made this evening a complete success.
