2013 Junior Committee Event: "Savor The City"
The NYSPCC's Junior Committee hosted a record-breaking event on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at The ONE Group's chic Italian spot, Asellina in the Gansevoort Park Hotel. Nearly 200 guests attended this annual event to enjoy summery cocktails, savory hors d'oeuvres, a fantastic DJ, and an incredible Silent Auction featuring over 40 items. The event raised nearly $50,000 in support of The NYSPCC's Trauma Recovery Program. Thank you to The ONE Group, to our corporate sponsor exhale mind body spa, to all of the silent auction donors, and to the outstanding Benefit Committee this year for their inspiring dedication to aid the work of The NYSPCC.
