More than 125 people celebrated Arts to Grow’s success and future at our “Five Years and Blooming” fundraising event at the CUE Art Foundation in Chelsea on May 4th, 2010. MC’d for the second year by WCBS-TV (Channel 2) news anchor Kristine Johnson, the event raised $16,000 that will directly support our programs. Speakers included educator Julianne Wurm, Advance Benefit Advisors President, Robert Petcove and Mallory King. Following a screening of the new Arts to Grow video, comedian Seth Herzog entertained. Attendees were treated to a surprise performance by the ICONic Boyz dance group led by instructor Geo Hubela, enjoyed music performed by Emily Cavanagh and socialized to the sounds of DJ Irs. Advanced Benefit Advisors received the Velvet Cushion award as the evening’s top corporate sponsor. A special thank you goes to all our donors and sponsors. 44 companies and individuals contributed goods and services, including 27 unique Silent Auction items. A dedicated 34 member volunteer committee made this event possible. Click here to view a slide show of the event. |
