February 19, 2008 - It’s official. No matter what your calendars may say, Springtime officially begins April 9. That’s the date for this year’s annual “Springtime in New York Gala,” held at New York’s celebrated Tavern on the Green, the Central Park Showcase.

CAF and the Child Reach Foundation are again joining forces to present this very special evening, hosted by our good friends, Gianna and Chazz Palminteri.

Things kick off at 6:00 with cocktails, followed by a delicious dinner and music from a first rate band. You can also count on a wide array of tempting silent auction items, as well as a spirited live auction, led by a very special celebrity auctioneer.

Our Humanitarian of the Year is Linda Weiss, and we’ll also be honoring the Merchants of Little Italy, Bronx: Christopher Borgatti (Borgatti Ravioli), David Greco (Mike’s Deli), Robert Paciullo (Roberto’s Restaurant) and Jerome Raguso (Gino’s Pastry Shop).

This year, we are also excited to announce that Joe Piscopo and the Red Bank Jazz Orchestra will present a special performance, featuring highlights from Joe’s Las Vegas club act. Anyone who has seen Joe Piscopo in any of his many television or film appearances knows that we are in for something truly special.

Tickets for the “Springtime in New York Gala” are $350 each, with $200 of each ticket tax-deductible. (Click here to purchase tickets online.)

Sponsorships and journal ads are also available; contact Alyssa Youngerman at (800) 522-7222 x 208 or a.youngerman@cooleysanemia.org for more details.

RSVPs are requested by March 20. Don’t let that date slip up on you; you definitely do not want to miss out on the fun.
