The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) lives up to its name. It not only offers educational opportunities to ensure those who were lost in the Holocaust live on but also provides programs designed to prevent bullying and bias. If you want to be part of this cause, buy tickets to the Taste of Long Island Tolerance Benefit.

The benefit directly supports the efforts of the HMTC and offers you a chance to taste fare from some of the island's top eateries at the same time. Your $125 ticket goes directly toward the anti-bullying and anti-bias efforts, as do the funds raised by the auction. From overnight stays at lavish hotels to one-of-a-kind experiences and items, the auction offers something to appeal to every bidder. Don't miss this event for a good cause!
