Every year Margo and I
support the St. Francis Food Pantry Celebrity Art Auction
and this year "Doodle
for Hunger XV" promises
to top all the previous years. This year's guests for the
evening will be baseball legend Mariano
Rivera and
musical icon Tony
Orlando.
Margo and I have become more and more concerned about
children and their families who are suffering during these
times of high unemployment and rising cost of living here in
the City. A record number of children are in homeless
shelters or inadequate temporary housing.
As a City, as a society we are better than this.
The St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters is one of the
largest providers of food and clothing for poor families in
New York, serving thousands of suffering families, and we
are very pleased to support this fine organization of the
Capuchin Fathers.
This great event offers doodles and artwork from hundreds of
artists and celebrities who have contributed their handiwork
to fight poverty.
Example items here: Celebrity
Doodles
It is a fun filled
cocktail party, not a sit down dinner, of movie, stage
and TV stars, politicians and New York City
characters... all to combat human suffering. will
be our special musical guests of honor at this year's
Doodle For Hunger XV! Besides the auction,
there are a variety of support levels from $500 up to
$25000. I know you will not go home empty handed.
Individual tickets are $300.
We hope you will join us November 6th at
the Chelsea Piers on West 23rd street. It is a very
entertaining night and all for the best cause.
Please let us know if you would like more information
and we hope to see you then.
