Our NYC team at Battle of the Bands hosted by Citymeals-on-Wheels
There are two things that we love: being involved with groups making a difference and spending time with other industry folks. Our NYC crew came together on Thursday, February 25th to attend and help sponsor a Battle of the Bands fundraiser for Citymeals-on-wheels. Having volunteered with the organization at the end of last year, we knew first hang how important the work they are doing is. We mingled and rocked out to industry bands- all in the name of a good cause. Certainly a night our team will remember!
Citymeals-on-Wheels hand delivers meals to homebound elderly New Yorkers on weekends, holidays, and times of emergency- times when many vulnerable seniors would otherwise go without food. One in four elderly New Yorkers is living alone, too poor to buy food, or too frail to shop and cook. Home delivered meals allow them to keep their independence and dignity while remaining in their own homes and neighborhoods.
Citymeals delivers more than 2.1 million meals each year. There are 17,000 frail New Yorkers who rely on this lifeline of good and human company, and the need is growing everyday. One hundred percent of the ticket sales and sponsorships for this event will be used for the preparation and delivery of meals. Judging by the hundreds of industry folks there- it was a huge success!
Other industry sponsors: Comcast Networks, Turner Broadcasting Systems, A&E Television Networks, Discovery Communications, Fox News, the Neilsen Company, NFL Network, Scripps Networks, GroupM, Hallmark, Invision Inc., NBC Universal, WGN America, ABC Family, BET, Bloomberg, CBS, ESPN, Google, MTV Networks, Rainbow Media, TV One, Univision, Active International, Canoe Ventures, DIRECTV, Fuse TV, Icon International, Ipsos Mendelsohn, Music Choice, SOAPnet, TRA, and Zenith Optimedia. Cheers to them!
