On April 12, 2026, Nassau Chapter No. 718 of the Order of the Eastern Star, State of New York, held a successful 'Bougie Bowling Fundraiser' at Baldwin Bowl & Lounge in Long Island. The event attracted over seventy community members, including prominent
figures such as Worthy Matron W. Leslie Jacobs and Worthy Patron W. Amari Daniel-Bey. The fundraiser featured a costume contest, with Pandora's Magic Box winning first place for their theatrical attire. The event also included raffle drawings, with the grand prize being a $3,000 all-inclusive vacation to the Dominican Republic. The fundraiser aimed to support two nonprofits: 1World Fest Global, which promotes cultural unity, and Angel Hearts for Hope, a nonprofit dedicated to helping those in need.
