Hope Gala Charity Auction at the Edison Ballroom NYC

I recently donated a painting that was auctioned for charity. The event raised $74,000 to fight pediatric cancer.

Here is a close up of the painting that sold, titled Brooklyn Towers painted in 2007.

Mission

The Hope Gala is an annual black tie optional event hosted by the New York City and Northern New Jersey Chapters of the Penn State Alumni Association. Created to support fundraising efforts on behalf of The Four Diamonds Fund and The Penn State Dance Marathon (THON™), The Hope Gala contributes to the mission of conquering childhood cancer. All proceeds benefit pediatric cancer patients at the Penn State Children's Hospital and their families in need of financial aid, medical assistance, and emotional support.

The 2013 Hope Gala will be held on Saturday, March 16th, 2013 at Edison Ballroom in NYC. Join us for an elegant evening of cocktails, seated dinner, dancing, and fundraising to support the fight against pediatric cancer!

Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to participate next year too. Thanks Gia.
