Thursday, May 16, 2013...The New York
Police & Fire Widows’ & Children’s Benefit Fund hosts its
Kick Off to Summer Benefit to honor fallen first
responders and raise funds and awareness for the families
they left behind. The event is led by Honorary Chairs
Scarlett Johansson, Vincent Piazza, and
Allison Williams, along with the Benefit Fund’s Junior
Committee of young professionals. Held at the Cabanas at The
Maritime Hotel, the evening will begin with outdoor
cocktails and music under the stars at 6:30 p.m., with hors
d’oeuvres, raffles, a silent auction, and gift bags of
fabulous items from ZICO Water, Robert Graham, Stella Artois,
Physique 57, JOE Fresh, Home Polish and others. Music will
be by DJ Raffael De Luca.
General admission tickets are $150,
with a special ticket rate of $100 for active duty NYPD,
FDNY, and PAPD first responders who protect and serve our
community every day. The Benefit Fund’s mission is to
provide assistance to the families of New York City Police
Officers, Fire Fighters, Port Authority Police and EMS
Personnel who have been killed in the line of duty. The
funds raised from this event will allow the Benefit Fund to
continue to make annual distributions to these families as
well as provide additional programs to help them cope and
connect in the future.
