(Long Island, NY) Former Massapequa Residents and Actors Alec and Billy Baldwin will join over 1,000 local bars and restaurants in the community in which they grew up. They will be raising funds in honor of their mother Carol Baldwin to fight breast cancer at the annual Long Island Hospitality Ball. The event will take place Today, Monday June 1, 2015 at 7pm at the Crest Hollow Country Club located at 8325 Jericho Turnpike in Woodbury, Long Island NY.
Carol M. Baldwin and her husband Alexander raised their family in Massapequa, Long Island. In 1983, after 29 years of marriage, her husband died of lung cancer and in 1990, Carol was diagnosed with breast cancer.
For much of her adult life, Carol M. Baldwin has been known as the mother of the world’s most famous acting family. What is less known about Carol, is her struggle with breast cancer, which nearly took her life.
After undergoing a double mastectomy, Carol decided to help other women overcome the struggles associated with breast cancer.
In 1996, turning tragedy into courage, Carol with family, friends and health professionals, formed The Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund, Inc. to fight and ultimately win the battle against breast cancer. The Fund’s primary purpose is to provide the money so desperately needed for researchers seeking the causes, prevention and treatment of breast cancer.
