Bonnie Moss of
Moss Networks expressed her excitement for this event, “We are thrilled to be working with
SYP on this event; it’s not only going to be a great night, but it’s an honor to be part of an event that generates awareness for such commendable causes.”
We had a great time at this event. We saw some old friends and made some new, interesting, ones and the Risotto Martini bar and Sushi were perfect. But more importantly, it’s such a great feeling to know that there are wonderful charity organizations like
SYP that make changes in this world to help others.
