Thumbs Up for a Cure is a one-of-a-kind afternoon gathering set in the magical gardens of LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton, bringing together children, families, biotech innovators, clinicians, philanthropists, and supporters of childhood cancer research for an unforgettable tea time with live jazz.

Kids Q&A: Children take the lead – asking bold, honest questions to biotech innovators developing promising new treatments for pediatric cancers and casting their votes with a simple thumbs up or thumbs down. Their voices cut through the complexity, bringing clarity, urgency, and heart to the innovations that matter most, while guests are invited to join the conversation through their philanthropic support, directly helping advance promising breakthroughs on the Music Beats Cancer platform.

Jazz Performance: The afternoon will feature a special live musical performance by renowned, Grammy-nominated and Doris Duke-awarded, jazz artist Yosvany Terry, creating a magical setting where innovation, community, music, and culture come together in support of children with cancer.
