A good friend of mine, a colleague in the wine industry, and a true mensch, is in need of our help.
In addition to being a fantastic purveyor of wines in NYC, the owner of Taste Wine Co. , Gary Landsman is the father of two young children who have been diagnosed with a terrible disease. Both of Gary’s young sons have been diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Canavan’s Disease.
However there is hope. Due to the tireless efforts of he and his wife Jennie, they have been able to raise over $1MM to fast-track genetic therapies for Canavan’s and a host of other diseases that had been previously stuck in laboratory test phases.
In the last push to assemble the full amount of $1.2MM needed to complete the funding campaign, Gary is channeling his wonderful wine education talents into two events. These events will encompass the very best of high-end kosher wine and food, as well as some rare vintage wines that have been donated by a number of generous souls.
The links to purchase tickets are here:
March 3rd event at WSIS in NYC: https://savebennyandjoshwinenyc.eventbrite.com
March 10 event @ Kingsway in BK: https://savebennyandjoshwinebk.eventbrite.com
I would urge everyone who has an interest in tzedaka, medicine, great wine education, or all three to snatch up these tickets before they are gone.
100% of the proceeds are going straight to the #savebennyandjosh cause to advance cures for rare genetic diseases. Help Benny and Josh as well as many others.
