New York Center for Children (NYCC) hosted its 24th Annual Spring Celebration Benefit at The Peninsula New York and raised $200,000 toward the organization’s mission to support victims of child abuse and their families.
Celebrating 24 years of helping the most vulnerable children achieve their full potential, this year, the NYCC honored Manhattan District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr. with the Champions for Children – Innovation Award.
The event featured a “The Magic of Hope” theme, which reflects the organization’s aim to bring about hope to victims of child abuse and help these children achieve their dreams. All of the evening’s proceeds benefit the center.
The benefit also featured live music by the Dennis Alan Jazz Trio, and a silent auction which included exciting travel offers, fine dining, tickets to cultural performances, fashion accessories and more. Jeremiah Evarts, Director of the Di Donna Galleries, was the Master of Ceremonies and Auctioneer for the event.
