Literacy Associates Benefit and Under the Sea Gala

Last week I celebrated my Birthday by attending a few charitable events:  The Literacy Associates Benefit and the Under the Sea Gala.

The Literacy Associates Benefit was held at Tenjune and their mission is to provide free, community based adult and family literacy programs.  Ensuring that adult learners have access the quality education needed to fully realize their potential as individuals, parents and citizens.  Literacy Partners, Inc.  30 East33rd Street, 6th Floor, NY, NY 10016, 212.725.9200. www.literacypartners.org  Did I mention I won an autographed copy of the recent Lee Childs book in the raffle? NICE.

The Under the Sea Gala at Pier Sixty was the best way to celebrate my actual birthday with my Mom.  This benefited the CancerCare for Kids with host, Tim Gunn, from Project Runway.  Many glorious items were auctioned off for this worthwhile cause.  It hit home especially because a friend of the family's daughter has battled Cancer and has won the fight.  Yea.  For more information visit: www.cancercare.org or call 800-813-HOPE.
