This year, the Associates Council of The Children’s Aid Society identified dental services— a core component of health services provided at Children’s Aid school-based health centers (SBHC) – as our spring beneficiary. Tickets are now available to attend this year’s Spring Fundraiser located at the Manhattan Penthouse (www.picatic.com/smilebrightercas). All net proceeds will improve direct services for children and youth at Children’s Aid-affiliated schools and SHBCs.

Approximately 300 guests are invited to attend the event at the Manhattan Penthouse, on Fifth Avenue. Last year we achieved both record donations and overwhelming event attendance by Manhattan young professionals from various industries, such as law, fashion, finance, technology, real estate, and media, to name a few. This year, with your help, we strive to exceed these past successes.

This year’s attractions will include multiple raffle prizes in a tiered format. Event guests as well as those who cannot attend may pledge purchased raffle tickets to three tiers. Some of our premium (Tier 1) prizes include:

• Three-night stay at Legends Hotel in Whistler, BC
• NHL jersey signed by all 2016 Eastern Conference All-Star players
• Three-day/two-night stay at the Courtyard Cadillac Ocean Front Hotel in Miami

Raffle prizes in all three tiers are comprised of an array of categories, including clothing and jewelry, fitness, food and drinks, home goods, as well as travel and recreation. A big thank you to our donors, including as Equinox, Theory, Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, MOMA, Dowdle Folk Art, Rustico Cooking, Quality Branded, the New York Yankees, and New York Mets, to name just a few.

Multiple tickets may be purchased per attendee/donor. Tier 2 tickets begin at $30 each; Tier 3 tickets begin at $10 each. Participants may opt to purchase a bundle of tickets for a discount (3 Tier 2 tickets or 10 Tier 3 tickets for $75).
