THE HELEN DAVID RELIEF FUND
PROCEEDS FROM THE PINK TIE GALA SUPPORT HDRF
The Helen David Relief Fund (HDRF) assists those in the bar industry who are fighting breast cancer, and other forms of cancer, with the dignity and courage exemplified by the fund’s namesake — a pioneer in the bar industry herself.
In the first two years of this great event we, with our generous sponsors and attendees, have raised nearly $50,000 for The Helen David Relief Fund. We are planning our biggest and greatest event yet for 2024. Thanks you all for your support.
