Dear Flawless Friends,
What a success! Thanks to all of you who were able to attend and support our second annual Perfection Party this past Saturday. It was a fun, fabulous, and record-setting event for our not-quite-three year old organization. We couldn’t have done it without all of you!
With four remarkable honorees, one Honorary Chair (thank you Patrick Kennedy!), four dedicated co-chairs, one fabulous moderator, a phenomenal board of directors, 120 guests in attendance, two surprise $15,000 gifts, and an incredibly successful special appeal, we were able to raise over $140,000 for our Flawless programming and advocacy efforts! Special thanks to our title sponsor, CIGNA, for helping to make this evening possible. Our panel discussion, “The Best Kind of Different,” left guests inspired and informed. One of the attendees wrote us an email the following day that said, “My life has been changed. I cried five times during the panel. There was an unprecedented paradigm shift in the room on how we view people who are perceived as different–bringing healing for us all.”
The inspiring conversations continued through our festive cocktail reception (sponsored by Knudsen Vineyards) and delicious dinner prepared by Chef David Burke and featuring wines from Staglin Family Vineyard.
Our phone lines and email in-boxes continue to be flooded with messages of praise and encouragement. The event was featured on the New York Social Diary. Keep the buzz going by staying in touch with us through Facebook and Twitter.
Together, we are changing lives for the millions of children living with brain differences. We look forward to keeping you up to date on all things Flawless–and to seeing you again in Spring 2012!
With Flawless Gratitude,
Janine Francolini
Founder & Board Chair
