Joan's Legacy Benefit

A record-setting 800 guests enjoyed the 2007 “Strolling Supper with Blues & News” that benefited Joan's Legacy: The Joan Scarangello Foundation to Conquer Lung Cancer on November 8. The event at Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, raised more than $1.1 Million for lung cancer.

Network news anchors Tom Brokaw, Barbara Walters and Brian Williams were honorary chairmen and the night  commemorated Lung Cancer Awareness Month in New York City, with a strolling supper, gourmet wine and spirits and a special silent auction.

Grammy-Award winning Blues artist Delbert McClinton and Friends performed, and dozens of “once-in-a-lifetime” prizes were available at the silent auction.

Joan's Legacy is named for Joan Scarangello, a writer and non-smoker who died in 2001 at age 47 after a valiant nine-month fight with lung cancer. Joan's Legacy is committed to fighting lung cancer by funding innovative research and focusing greater attention on the world's leading cancer killer. Funding more than $3,000,000 in new and cutting-edge research in just five years, Joan's Legacy has become the “venture capital” source for ground-breaking lung cancer research.
