Every year CMOM hosts benefit events to celebrate the Museum’s achievements, programs and future projects. Proceeds from these events support CMOM’s arts, education, health and cultural programs for children and families throughout New York City.
On May 31, 2011 friends of CMOM gathered at the homes of Chair, Board of the Directors -halley k harrisburg, Vice Chair, Board of Directors — Miyoung Lee and Board Member — Christiane Lemieux for an intimate dinner to celebrate another incredible year at the Museum. We were thrilled to be joined by amazing company for a special evening!
The evening was a great success and we were able to raise more than $166,000! This has truly been a record breaking year for CMOM, in large part due to the continued support of our donors and members. CMOM has set a record for attendance and visitorship this year; we are at the forefront of health education for young children and families; we have helped to make the arts and culture a part of the everyday fabric of family life here in the City; and, while we have long been regarded as an invaluable asset to the City, our expertise is increasingly being tapped on a national level. CMOM is brimming with excitement and energy and we look forward to the future with great anticipation!
We are truly touched for those who contributed and took time out to spend an evening with CMOM!
