Whether it is to help a cause, prove one will, or encourage kinship there are all types of fights and bouts going on around the Albany, NY area.  This past weekend we were able to attend some fighting events.

We started off at the Taste of Compassion for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society at the Wolferts Roost Country Club.  There attendees of the event tasted exquisite wines from renowned vintners, enjoy the sounds of the Ray Alexander Trio, and participate in live and silent auctions all to raise funds to help fight types of Blood Cancers.
