On Monday, October 17, 6:30-9:00 pm, Mamma Rosa Ristorante in Somers will host their 4th Annual Italian Dinner Party to benefit Friends of Karen.

The organization is a lifeline of support for families in the NY, NJ and CT area who are caring for a child with cancer or another life-threatening illness.
 
The evening’s event will include a delicious (!) 3-course dinner (wine and soda included) and raffle. Reservations are required as seating is limited. $100/per person.

Friends of Karen provides one-on-one support for the whole family. Their team of experienced social workers, child life specialists and expressive art therapists, ensures that each family receives an individualized program of assistance to relieve their daily needs and concerns so they can remain stable and functioning. No family should have to go through their child’s illness alone. Friends of Karen is a lifeline of support.
