Lauri Strauss was a vivacious young woman who died of acute myelogenous leukemia more than two decades ago, at the age of 26. Over these years, this family-run foundation has raised and distributed more than $4 million for the study and treatment of leukemia and allied diseases.
In a special moment mid-show, a bone-marrow recipient will be introduced, on stage and for the first time, to the donor whose marrow contribution literally provided the gift of life.
Contributors' tickets for the evening start at $125 per person, of which $75 is tax-deductible. Popular-priced tickets are also available at the Rose Hall box office for $35, $50, $75 and $100.
