The 2nd annual Lustgarten Foundation Race 4 A Cure will take place on Friday, February 26th from 6-9 p.m. at Grand Prix New York, a fun-filled family and corporate entertainment complex in Mount Kisco. The fundraiser will be open to the public and is for children of all ages. Admission includes passed hors d’oeuvres from highly acclaimed Restaurant North and Kira Sushi, open bar, buffet dinner and dessert stations, music from Total Entertainment, “Arrive and Drive” indoor go kart racing, bowling at GPNY’s Spins Bowl lanes, bounce house and a $20 credit for the arcade.
All proceeds will benefit The Lustgarten Foundation, the nation’s largest private funder of pancreatic cancer research, and will help accelerate the path towards a cure for this aggressive, life-threatening disease.
“I was inspired to honor my father’s memory and make a commitment to ensuring that other families don’t have to suffer like we did,” said Hope Wolfe of Bedford, event co-founder and committee chairperson. “We are on the verge of scientific breakthroughs in pancreatic cancer, and I am hopeful that with increased funding raised through Race 4 A Cure and other community events, The Lustgarten Foundation’s researchers will continue to move us significantly closer to a cure. “
“Grand Prix New York is an important venue for local charity fundraisers and we’re thrilled to be able to support a cause as important as this one,” said Nat Mundy, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Grand Prix New York Racing. “We look forward to another successful event.”

Last year’s inaugural Race 4 A Cure event drew 400 attendees and raised more than $140,000 to benefit The Lustgarten Foundation. This year, we hope to surpass that amount. With the support of Cablevision Systems Corporation, 100% of every dollar donated to The Lustgarten Foundation goes directly to pancreatic cancer research.
