This year, more than 280 guests came together at the Maritime Hotel on June 18^th for the a terrific evening that served to honor Luke's commitment to service by raising awareness to mentoring and the need for more mentors in New York City.

With your support and the support of others, the event netted over $52,000 through family donations, corporate contributions and silent auction proceeds. This money will underwrite the costs of the Mentoring Institute, which provides no-cost training and technical support to over 100 mentoring programs and 1000s of mentors in New York City.

We applaud your support of the event and encourage you to continue to learn more about mentoring and supporting The Mentoring Partnership of New York through the following three easy steps:

1. Learn how to become a mentor by calling 212-953-0945 and speaking to an MPNY staff member about the perfect fit for you. MPNY works with more than 100 programs in NYC, serving diverse youth populations and requiring different time commitments.
2. Join our Facebook page at http://www.causes.com/mpny and invite all of your friends to do the same, so that we can keep you updated about future MPNY events and mentoring news. You can also follow us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/Mentoring_NY
