Late Knight Warriors Host “Cocktails For A Cause” To Support Local One-Year-Old Jackson Berry In His Fight Against Leukemia
The Late Knight Warriors (LKW), a local nonprofit, will host Cocktails for a Cause on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Tap Room in Bay Shore to support one-yearold Jackson Berry and his family as he battles leukemia.
Jackson is a bright, resilient one-year-old whose life was recently upended by hospital visits, treatments, and the challenges of his fight against leukemia. His father is a longtime friend to several LKW members, making this cause deeply personal to the community.
The event, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, will feature
an appetizer buffet, a signature open bar, and opportunities to participate in a Chinese auction and 50/50 raffle. A large portion of proceeds, along with 100% of donations made in Jackson’s name, will go directly to his family.
“This cause is deeply personal to us,” said Laura Gottfried, Vice President of LKW. “My own family faced a similar challenge years ago, and I know how much support can help. With Jackson’s father being a friend to several of our members, we felt an urgent need to build that same network of care and support his family in every way we can.”
Tickets are limited so we encourage people to buy their tickets early at the LKW website: https:// lateknightwarriors.com/ lkw-cocktail-party. Those unable to attend can still help by donating or purchasing 50/50 raffle tickets through the LKW website.
About Late Knight Warriors: LKW is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 331831126) that combines social connection with community impact. All events and initiatives are powered entirely by volunteers, with no board member or organizer receiving compensation.
