7th Annual "Relay for Life" of the North Shore


Extravagant Realty is excited to be a sponsor of the 7th Annual Relay for Life of North Shore. This year’s Relay for Life will be held on Saturday, June 1 at North Shore High School.

What exactly is Relay for Life and why join? Relay for Life is all about communities across the globe coming together to honor cancer survivors, to remember lost loved ones, and to fight back against a disease that has already taken too much. The funds we raise truly make a difference in the fight against cancer – just ask one of the nearly 14 million cancer survivors who will celebrate another birthday this year! Relay teams camp out overnight and take turns walking and running around a track or path at local high schools, parks, and fairgrounds. Relay for Life events are 24 hours because cancer never sleeps.

If you’ve ever been told, “You have cancer,” we are honored to invite you to attend your local Relay for Life event. As a cancer survivor, you’ll be a distinguished Guest of Honor, cheered on by your community. Cancer patient caregivers are also honored for their support at Relay for Life events. So, whether you’re a survivor or a caregiver, becoming involved in your local Relay for Life will introduce you to others who are facing the same challenges, and provide opportunities for learning, sharing, and friendship.

Extravagant Realty’s Media and Communications Manager, Deborah Orgel Gordon, was eager to jump in and help Relay for Life raise money for American Cancer Society. “My mom has beat breast cancer twice and many other family members and friends have been stricken by cancer over the years,” she says. “I felt it was time to help.” Extravagant Realty donates time and money to the heart-tugging Relay for Life Survivor VIP Dinner. And, Deborah’s popular shop, Gem Craft Boutique, located down the block from Extravagant Realty in Glen Head, will once again, set up a Pink Ribbon Table at the Relay event, with a percentage of the proceeds going to ACS. “This year, I hope to reach out even more to the community to make them aware of fundraisers, like Relay for Life.” You can donate to Deborah’s ACS page at
