LUNAFEST raised over $5,000 for the Breast Cancer Fund and Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Services of Saratoga County

On January 29, 2011 the LUNA Chix Albany Triathlon and NY Mountain Bike teams hosted the 10th annual LUNAFEST film festival at the newly renovated Revolution Hall. LUNAFEST was established in 2000 by LUNA, the makers of the Whole Nutrition Bar for Women, to simultaneously promote women filmmakers, raise awareness for women’s issues, and support worthy women’s nonprofit organizations throughout the U.S. and Canada. 

The doors opened at 6 with a cash bar, wonderful food from Illium Cafe, and a silent auction.  The films kicked off at 7.  It was a fantastic mix for genres and topics - something to please everyone.

The evening's tickets sales and auction proceeds went to Domestic Violence and Rape Crisis Services of Saratoga County (DVRC)  and the Breast Cancer Fund
