SM4SC NYC to benefit City Harvest

This past Friday night, Wendy, Sindia and I were thrilled to be a part of Social Media for Social Change (SM4SC) NYC's event at the chic Roger Smith Hotel to support City Harvest, the world's first and only NYC-based hunger relief organization. City Harvest's mission is to end hunger in communities throughout New York City, through food rescue and distribution, education, and other practical, innovative solutions. During economic downturns, relief organizations such as City Harvest are often hit hard, as their corporate sponsors may also have been affected, and are unable to continue offering support. SM4SC has taken hunger relief as their cause for the year, and we are proud to be a part of the effort.


Before heading out on a fabulous night on the town, we took a little time to strike a pose...and channel our inner goofball. (speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil...sort of)

As a general rule, the three of us tend not to take ourselves too seriously...but we fake it marvelously, don't we? (sigh...if only I remembered to open my eyes!) But- no joke, it's pretty nifty to have an excuse to be all dolled up** and make a difference. Thanks to Guest of a Guest... for many of the great pictures from the night.

Wendy was interviewed for the video global citizen experiment is putting together as their contribution to the event, and we are all looking forward to seeing the final cut. If you aren't familiar with global citizen, and their mission, I would definitely recommend that you check them out. I can promise you that we will be posting a link to the video as soon as we're able.






The event was fantastic- complete with a raffle and silent auction to raise additional funds. Sindia fell in love with one particular photograph, and I was there to share her joy in the win with my usual subdued, controlled manner. Thanks to global citizen for all the wonderful photos of the event that they have already posted.








SM4SC has now raised almost 75% of their goal, and we want to lend our support as much as possible. To make an additional donation to City Harvest, share information about this fantastic organization, or become a part of the fundraising effort, visit firstgiving and add your voice to the cause. Also, SM4SC has an excellent wrap-up of the night on their blog, along with a breakdown of the donations received so far.




**We have been asked what jewelry we were wearing that night (Wendy gets asked everywhere she goes...hence the "What's Wendy Wearing" section on our homepage) and thought we'd share, as each of us are rocking some of our favorite styles.

Wendy: Merkaba Sterling Silver Earrings & Flower of Life Sterling Silver Cuff Bracelet

Michelle: Fiore Rope Necklace, Akasha 14K Gold Vermeil Earrings & Engraved Flower Bangle Bracelet
