Our First Fundraiser Event on 6/22 Raises Over $7,000

Our first fundraiser event was a success! We raised $7,164.69 on Tuesday night!

Thank you to everyone who came out to The Thirsty Koala in Astoria, Queens this past Tuesday night, where we introduced our organization and our board members, our efforts for Alex’s SDR surgery, and where The Thirsty Koala launched its new drink, The Billabong (pictured below), which will be available the rest of the summer, with 50% of proceeds for the drink to be donated to our organization. We also had a live jazz band play throughout the night, a whiskey tasting hosted by Starward, an Australian whiskey distiller, and food & drink prepared by the Thirsty Koala.

Thank you Mikhail Lipyanskiy for photographing the event (photos below), and to the folks at The Thirsty Koala for all their efforts in making this event a realty. And, a very big thank you to our donors for showing up and contributing towards our goal!

We have, as of today, raised a total of $27,800 towards Alex’s SDR surgery.
