Being on the Board of a charity like Children of the City (COC) has its advantages. Sometimes we get to meet some totally amazing people. For instance, our big annual gala is coming up on Thursday March 13 . And New York Giants SuperBowl hero David Tyree will be coming as a special guest, for the third year in a row; along with Richard Jefferson of the New York Nets.
This year's 27th anniversary gala will be held at Tribecca Rooftop in New York City. The Master of Ceremonies is Steve Shirripa of the HBO series The Supranos. This wonderful organization serves the children and families of Southwest Brooklyn, helping families overcome welfare and poverty, and benefiting children and their challenges in life with education, and more.
It is only $5,000 to sponsor a child -- to provide a complete comprehensive plan for success for one child for a year, and get name recognition, and receive frequent updates on the progress of your sponsored child's development throughout the year. Then of course, if you happen to be with a major corporation and want to sponsor the event to the tune of $50k, you're company will get name recognition at all major COC events, in all communicaitons, publications and media coverage throughout the year including fundraising events, programs, activities and community gatherings.
Oh and just to attend the gala the tickets are $400 each. Anyone interested in a sponsorship can call Joyce Mattera before February 29th at 718-436-0242 X 18. Be sure to tell her you saw this on the Rocco Basile blog, and I also plan to mention it on my website at www.roccobasile.org where you will find out more about my charities and the importance of education.
