Our fearless leader

If being an “everyday philanthropist” weren’t enough for Jed, he is also a “blessing.” We couldn’t agree more Sally– and happy birthday Jed!!! Good Housekeeping down. Triathlete Magazine next.

Some Media Attention

Last summer, after we finished the Wildflower, I was interviewed for this book called “How To Be An Everyday Philanthropist.”  Months later, it was published and my interview was actually featured!  Check it out…

More Information

The Super Bowl Party returns for another year and again will be a benefit to support of the Brooklyn Landsharks and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We’ll be back at the Brooklyn Lyceum for more of the same great Super Bowl food and hijinks that you’ve come to expect in early February. And, as everyone knows, if Landsharks stop swimming we die, so there will definitely be some new surprises and innovations. Bring the kids! Bring the wife! Bring the boyfriend! Bring your mom. It’s going to be blast.

— What can you expect? —

  • A giant screen. I mean huge. About 25′ wide!
  • All you can eat food and drink, including wings, guacamole, 6-foot long sandwiches, kegs of Kelso beer and a few other surprises
  • Fabulous auction items
    and…

  • A tax deduction!

— What will it cost? —

After February 5th, the Landsharks Benefit costs only $50 ($30 of which is tax deductible.) That includes everything – your beer, your wings, your guacamole, your entries for fabulous prizes … you get the point.

You can pay via paypal ($51.80 to cover paypal charges) here or at the door.

— Who can come? —

Anyone you want. Seriously, there’s a large capacity and the more the merrier. But do us a favor and encourage people to pay in advance as it will make it easier for us to plan food and beer. Those of you who work for employers that match donations are especially encouraged to come out!

— Where and when do I show up? —

2,3,4,5,B,Q to Atlantic Avenue
D, N to Pacific Street
R to Union Street
B63 or B37 to Union Street (take the bus while you still can!)

— Can I still bring food? —

The Super Bowl has always been about more than eating. It’s been about competitive cooking… as well as competitive eating. The Landsharks will be preparing the food and, because you’re being so generous with your donations, you don’t have to bring anything. That said, I would never tell anyone not to cook something for the Super Bowl, so if you want to bring something just let us know and we’ll coordinate. (Last year Isaac brought a bacon explosion that I think I’m still recovering from.)

Hope to see a ton of you there!
