Long Island Food Critic

That's right ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! The 12th Annual Fight For Charity was a knock-out event. Held at the Huntington Hilton, guests swarmed to see this year's "Main Event" and to raise money for individuals and families in need on Long Island.

In one corner, you had participating restaurants and beverage companies serving their delectable samples. In the middle of the room was the ring where this year's boxers greatly anticipated fighting the good fight.

This year's "Fight For Charity" benefitted Long Island Community Chest, Eden II Programs and Family Residences and Essential Enterprises, Inc. (FREE) and was sponsored by Alure Home Improvements, Bislaw, Fat Guy Media, Farrell Fritz Attorneys, Lessing's, and PWC.

Everyone went home a winner that evening, as guests enjoyed delicious cuisine, exciting entertainment and since 2002, have helped raise nearly $1 million for local charities.
