Michele Pincus Joins Pink Aid Long Island in Giving $30,000 Grant to Brookhaven Breast Cancer Survivorship Coalition and Participates in Moot Court Competition
Michele Pincus, a Partner with the firm and a member of Pink Aid's Grant Committee, recently joined fellow members of Pink Aid Long Island in providing a $30,000 grant to the Brookhaven Breast Cancer Survivorship Coalition, a service of Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center in Patchogue, New York.
The grant will be used to fund the emergent needs of uninsured or underinsured Long Island women in treatment for breast cancer, including non-medical expenses, such as meal delivery, wigs, lymphedema compression sleeves, grocery cards and transportation services to and from treatment.
Founded by the Mitchell family, the owners of Marshs in Huntington, Pink Aid helps underserved local women survive breast cancer treatment by providing grants for support programs. Pink Aid provides support to established hospital foundations, national nonprofits and smaller grassroots organizations and covers their non-medical expenses for screenings to women in need. This grant to Brookhaven was one of five grants made this year to local organizations.
Ms. Pincus was also invited to participate as one of the judges in the Annual Moot Court Competition hosted by Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK High School. Twelve high schools across Long Island competed in the daylong tournament.
