2010 Awards Ceremony & Benefit Auction
The 2010 Awards Ceremony and Benefit Auction was held at the Metropolitan Pavilion, New York, on October 12th.
Thanks go to everyone who made the event a real blast! We managed to raise valuable funds for next year’s programs from ticket sales, the silent and online auctions, and the raffle.
A big thank you to everyone who helped with the preparation and organization of the event. In particular YPA would like to thank Lynn Martin; our dedicated Events Committe, Don Bitzer, Lindsey Nicholson, Lisa Curesky, and Yvette Naylor; and our enthusiastic volunteers, Arturo Santos, Aurelie Graillot, Courtney Smith, Dawn Bauer, Dexter Lane, Eric Schwortz, John Stukes, Katina Houvouras, Pascaline Klein, Philippe Paktor, Robert Herman, Sumner Hatch, and Tegan Mahford.
