Hosted by Ken Downing, the program also included remarks by Delivering Good President & CEO, Matthew Fasciano, Board Chair, Andrea Weiss and event co-chair, Joe Abruzzo. Musical guests, Brooklyn United Music & Arts Program and The Sons of Serendip entertained our guests as they enjoyed cocktails, dinner, a live appeal, and an exciting live auction featuring a once-in-a-lifetime Dallas Cowboys game day experience that went for $20,000 and a week’s stay at the exclusive Casa Sybil in the Dominican Republic that went for $10,000.

The evening also included a video showcasing Delivering Good’s work, and special guest speakers from two of our community partners who shared personal stories of how the products they receive from Delivering Good are helping people in their communities.
