Bars across NY Metro Area Pledge Support during Breast Cancer Awareness Month with Signature Cocktails and Mocktails
Chemo Comfort is holding their twelfth annual Cocktails for Comfort fundraising campaign October 9-18, 2026. Thirteen establishments in the NY Metro area are participating by creating signature cocktails for their patrons. Proceeds from these signature cocktails are donated to Chemo Comfort to support their programs, providing cancer patients with kits of products to help manage chemotherapy’s side effects.
Almost all venues have a virgin version of the event cocktail.
Participants are donating 10%-100% of cocktail price, depending on venue.
Participants subject to change, so please check the website for up-to-date locations and cocktail information: chemocomfort.org/cocktails_2026
Chemo Comfort, an all-volunteer run organization founded in 2003 by three-time cancer survivor Anne Marie Paolucci, provides cancer patients with kits of products to help manage chemotherapy’s side effects. Ms. Paolucci’s mission comes from personal experience: “Starting chemotherapy is a frightening experience. We are saying to patients ‘Here is a box of tools put together by someone who’s been there. Know that you are not alone and these tools will help you take care of yourself during this difficult journey.’ ” Ms. Paolucci was a NY1 New Yorker of the Week.
