Gurney's Raises Breast Cancer Awareness

Don't miss an opportunity to schedule a free mammogram and get your ticket soon for the Girls Night Out party in November.

National Breast Cancer Awareness month may be winding down, but at Gurney’s Inn Resort and Spa in Montauk it's just getting started.

On Wednesday, from noon to 3 p.m., Gurney’s and the South Fork Community Health Initiative are scheduling free mammograms for women without healthcare coverage.

Then on Nov. 2, Gurney’s will host Girls Night Out to benefit The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, an event that celebrates breast cancer survivors. Last year, the event raised over $30,000.

DJ Serg & The Lawrence Cooley Band will perform, complimentary "pink" cocktails will be served, there will be a wine tasting, passed hors d’oeuvres, psychic readings, salon pampering and even a fashion show featuring  local shops. Local businesses have provided plenty of items for a Chinese auction, silent auction, and a balloon raffle. All of the proceeds are donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The party starts at 7 p.m.

“Early detection is critical to fighting breast cancer, and we are proud to partner with the South Fork Health Initiative to schedule free screenings for women in need,” said Candace Monte, the spa director. She founded Girls Night Out and has coordinated the event for the past four years.
