Last week I went to a Fundraiser for Opportunity Project(OP). It was called an Evening to Ensure the Future. OP is a Clubhouse Program Empowering People with a Brain Injury. Mrs. Lisa Goldman, and her partner, co-founded OP. Her son, Dan, was my very first "cancer" friend; he was treated for a malignant BT in 1987 and he's still here today. OP is a huge success now!

The event was at the NJ PAC (Performing Arts Center) in Newark. It featured Michael Feinstein, a 5 time Grammy Nominee. Also singers Christine Ebersole, Debbie Gravitte, and Michelle Lee sang.
