For Immediate Release
BRIDGEHAMPTON, NY (July 1, 2010) – Christie Brinkley will be the Honorary Chair at the 21st Annual Family Day Wild, Wild West Carnival, presented by Marquis Jet and the National Women’s Division of Albert Einstein College of Medicine.  They are calling all cowboys and cowgirls to come on down Sunday, August 8, 2010 to the Ross School (Lower School campus), 739 Butter Lane, Bridgehampton, NY from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm for all the festivities you can lasso up.

Don’t leave the kids in the dust for this annual benefit; there is more than enough fun to go around for the whole family.  Jump in a burlap sack and hop your way through potato sack races, spin till you’re dizzy in the hula-hoop contest, or beat the summer heat with the water balloon toss.  The afternoon continues with many other activities including pony rides, giant slides, inflatable rides, tug-of-war, face painters, mining for gems, paddle boats, arts & crafts, performances by The Z Brothers, a silent auction and much more.

All of this fun not only makes for an exciting day with the family but also enhances the lives of many others with your generous contributions.  All proceeds from ticket sales, raffles and the silent auction benefit the National Women’s Division’s extraordinary new initiative to support research in Women’s Health and Cancers – including breast, ovarian, cervical and uterine cancers – conducted by leading scientist at the Albert Einstein Cancer Center.

Founded in 1955, the Albert Einstein College of Medicine is one of the world’s premiere centers for medical research and education. It’s a place where miracles happen…miracles like the development of Taxol®, one of the most important anti-cancer drugs of the last decade and the identification of the key missing protein in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, a major breakthrough in Alzheimer’s disease research.

Tickets start at $100 and can be purchased in advance or at the door. For more information please call (718) 430-2818.
