Last Wednesday we helped run the American Diabetes Association’s “Live the Good Life” Silent Auction to help raise funds for diabetes research, education, and advocacy.
The auction, sponsored by Weil, Gotshal and Manges at their amazing offices on Fifth Avenue, included over fifty items ranging from beautiful jewelry to a Sonoma Wine Extravaganza package, autographed pictures from Derek Jeter, Michael Phelps and Eli Manning, a NASCAR Racing package and a 2008 NFL Pro Bowl autographed football.
Despite the Wall Street crisis and the problems at Lehman Brothers, over 75 people came out to support the auction and helped to raise $3,500 for the ADA. Guests enjoyed catered food and complimentary drinks. The event was nicely organized and everyone in attendance had a lovely evening.
The auction is one of two wrap around events Penta is helping organizing to raise money for this important charity and leading up to the “Live the Good Life” Gala at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel on November 6th. The second event is the Penta Cares Second Annual Charity Golf Outing at Lido Golf Club in Long Island on October 6th. The event will include an 11am shotgun start followed by a cocktail hour and a dinner reception with awards, raffles, silent auction, and a performance by the Knicks City Dancers!
