WGIRLS NYC 7th Annual Hope for the Holidays Fundraiser at Sway

[Mitchell Acks]

On Thursday December 1st the WGIRLS NYC threw their 7th Annual Hope for the Holidays Fundraiser at Sway for 200 guests.

W Girls is an international charity with a branch right here in New York City that helps underpriviledged women and children. On this particular night the raffle provided 250 foster children toys for Christmas.

 

This year’s fundraiser event helped WGIRLS NYC purchase, wrap, and deliver gifts for hundreds of Little Flower foster children and their families. Little Flower Children and Family Services of New York is a not-for-profit charity serving children, families and developmentally disabled adults across New York City and Long Island. The Foster Care Program provides safety and care for thousands of neglected, abused and abandoned children. They strive to match children with appropriate foster parents according to their experiences, strengths and skills. The success of the program is evident when many of these children are able to safely return to their birth families, or are adopted by foster parents and gain a permanent family.

The event was a giant success due to an hour and half open bar provided by Patron, Ulimat, and Banfi Vintners, music by Michael Demby and great sponsors like Tieks, Uber, Laser Cosmetica and Crunch.   At the end of the night many guests left with amazing raffle and silent auction prizes. Activties seemed to be the favorities of the night,  the prize with the most bids was a dinner at CrossBar and bowling for 8 with appetizers at Lucky Strikes  and the raffle bag with the most tickets was for 4 passes to Chelsea Piers and a gift certificate to Zog Sports.

If you would like to give to help get toys for those 250 kids or help out in any way with the W girls charities go visit their website at wgirls.org/new-york-city.
