Daniel Gale Sotheby’s sponsors Pink Aid fundraiser luncheon

Huntington, NY Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, one of the nation’s leading realtors, was the title sponsor of the 5th Annual Pink Aid Luncheon and Celebration of Life Fashion Show, hosted at Mitchell’s clothing store. The luncheon and fashion show, held during Breast Cancer Awareness Month each year, raises funds to help underserved local women survive breast cancer treatment with support and dignity and provide important screening to women in financial need. Pink Aid also seeks to empower all breast cancer survivors to heal by helping and inspiring others. This year’s event raised more than $500,000 in support of the Pink Aid mission. 

Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty president and chairman Patricia Petersen served as the 2018 luncheon chair, with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty additionally represented by a team of more than a dozen volunteers and supporters who gave their time and resources to help make the day a success. Committee chairs included Bonnie Williamson, Katherine Cirelli and Melissa Stark of Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty.
