Thank you for making our 2010 Benefit, honoring Andy Ackerman’s 20 years as Executive Director of CMOM, a huge success! Because of your generosity, we were able to raise $1.2 million to support our exhibitions, programming and outreach into the community. Watch the video shown at our event!

At the event, Honorary Chair Laurie Tisch announced a new initiative to replicate CMOM's exhibits and programs in New York City public housing. Stay tuned for more details! It’s not too late to make a difference … donate here!
