You know I’m always excited to announce the fantastic charity event to hit NYC. Doing good and socializing go hand-in-hand in this city, and since you’ll already be out having cocktails and dinner with your friends on any given weeknight, why not just put the money towards a good cause? And here’s a fringe benefit: you’ll be enjoying the company of people who actually care (rather than some tacky nightclub crowd, yikes!).
On Wednesday, April 7th, Free Burma Alliance and Network 355 will hold a fundraiser to benefit the Burmese children refugees at Mae Tao Clinic in Thailand (www.maetaoclinic.org). The event will expose New Yorkers to Burmese culture, while raising funds to support the renowned clinic.
April 7, 7-10pm
Friar’s Club NYC
57 East 55th Street
You’ll be mingling with VIPs, celebs, politicians, and a general who’s who guestlist.
The details:
The fundraiser will draw attention to this important cause and raise much-needed funds for the Mae Tao Clinic. In addition to the silent auction, the evening’s program will include a traditional Burmese dance performance, photography exhibition by The Open Society Institute, a presentation by Heroes Serving Humanity, a video clip from an upcoming documentary by Jeremy Taylor “Burma: An Indictmentâ€, and a personal video message from Dr. Cynthia Maung.
