Over 300 people gathered on April 14th at The Boathouse in Central Park for a spectacular evening. Mercy Center honored Abigail E. Disney, President of the Daphne Foundation, who accepted the honor with inspiring remarks about what Mercy Center means to her. To make the event a success, friends of Mercy Center came together with a level of generosity we could only dream of. We raised over $167,500 after expenses, thanks to everyone who donated prizes, bought tickets, purchased journal ads, donated funds, and gave generously of their time and expertise. Special thanks go to our Board of Advisors, who work tirelessly for months every year to plan this event, and especially to our Auction Co-Chairs Diane Vezza and Mary Theresa McCombe. If you were unable to attend, here's a quick look at the evening. We hope to see you next year! |
