A whole host of local businesses are lending their support to young Jackson in his fight against leukemia.
The outpouring of generosity for Cocktails for a Cause, hosted by Late Knight Warriors (LKW), has been nothing short of incredible. The event takes place Saturday, November 15, 2025, from 6:00–9:00 PM at The Tap Room in Bay Shore will benefit one-year-old Jackson Berry and his family.
Earlier this year, his parents, Shaun and Jenna Berry, received Jackson’s devastating leukemia diagnosis. Since then, their world has revolved around doctor visits, hospital stays, and treatments while trying to keep up hope. To stay by Jackson’s side throughout his journey, Jenna left her job, creating added financial hardship for the family.
Since announcing the fundraiser, community support has continued to grow. Bulovas Restorations Inc. has joined as the Event Sponsor, and a wide range of local businesses have stepped up with donations for the event’s Chinese Auction, including: LI Ducks, RPM Raceway, Sayville Running Club, Adventureland, NY Islanders, NY Knicks, Brooklyn Cyclones, The Adventure Park, Larson's Christmas Trees, Davis Park Harbor Store, Carleton Clothing, Casino Bar and Café, Surfside, Spiderbite Brewing Co., Queens Baseball Convention, and Clare Rose.
In addition, Minuteman Press of East Northport, The Rustic Workshop, and Tap Room of Bay Shore have generously provided in-kind support to help make the evening possible.
“We are so grateful for the incredible outpouring of support from local businesses and our community,” said Laura Gottfried, Vice President of Late Knight Warriors. “Jackson’s courage and determination have inspired all of us, and every sponsorship, donation, and act of kindness helps lift some of the weight his family is carrying.”
