Fundraising Events Over the Years
Bates Motel Fundraiser
Throughout the month of October, an Island Park home has been transformed into the “Bates Motel” with lots of familiar and scary faces. This haunted house raises money for breast cancer to benefit the Adelphi Breast Cancer Program.
Dig Pink Campaign
The Adelphi University Volleyball team’s Dig Pink Campaign to raise funds for Side-Out. Funds raised through this campaign go toward a clinical trial specifically for patients with metastatic breast cancer, the most advanced form of the disease, and the least funded area of research.
Fortunoff: The Power of Pink
Fortunoff Fine Jewelry has assembled a “Power of Pink” collection, the sale of which will support the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program.
