Hastings on Hudson, NY – After the loss of his wonderful daughter Toyami Clark Paynter to Meningitis, Tom Clark has been on a mission. On Saturday, December 8th, 2007, Clark will host a Kick-Off event for the Meningitis Foundation of America at Blu Restaurant, located at 100 River Street in Hastings-On-Hudson from 3pm to 5pm.
Enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, great company and a beautiful sunset while supporting a worthy cause. The event is $50.00 per person and will include a Silent Auction and 50/50 Raffle. All proceeds will be donated to The Meningitis Foundation of America.
“As a father, it is my obligation to host this event in honor of Toyami, who was taken at such an early age. She will continue to touch and help others through events such as this. I urge people to join us on December 8th to celebrate Toyami’s legacy and save lives,” said Clark.
Meningococcal disease (including meningitis) is a rare but potentially fatal illness that can strike at any time. About 3000 people in the United States get this disease each year, and 1 in 10 of them die from it. Research has shown that teens and young adults are at increased risk.
