New York Center For Children Hosts 23rd Annual Spring Celebration Benefit

Founded in 1995, NYCC is the only independent center in New York City to provide free, comprehensive evaluation and therapy services to children who have experienced physical and sexual abuse and their families, for as long as their healing requires.

The New York Center for Children (NYCC) hosted the 23rd Annual Spring Celebration Benefit on Monday, April 30, 2018, to celebrate over 20 years of helping the most vulnerable children achieve their full potential. The benefit, which coincides with National Child Abuse Prevention Month, helped raise funds for the Center’s work in healing, prevention and education.

This year’s event had a “Lift Me Up” theme, which reflects the organization’s aim to bring about hope and help children achieve their dreams. The benefit featured live music by Award Winning Eco-Music Ensemble Englewinds, and a silent auction featuring coveted travel offers, fine dining, tickets to cultural performances, high end fashion accessories and more.
