More than 700 guests attended the Strolling Supper with Blues & News to benefit Joan’s Legacy: The Joan Scarangello Foundation to Conquer Lung Cancer, on November 7 at the Allen Room at Jazz at Lincoln Center. The foundation raised $900,000 that evening, and awarded $1.1 million in new research grants to fund lung cancer research projects at the nation’s leading institutions. Network news anchors Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams were honorary chairmen.

Joan’s Legacy is named for Joan Scarangello, a writer and nonsmoker who died at age 47 after a valiant nine-month fight with lung cancer. Joan’s Legacy is committed to fighting lung cancer by searching for a cure and focusing greater attention on the world’s leading cancer killer. Funding $2.4 million in new and cutting-edge research in only four years, Joan’s Legacy is fast becoming the “venture capital” for lung cancer research.
