This year, approximately 270 guests came together at the Maritime Hotel on June 17^th, 2010 for 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 almost $45,000 through family donations, corporate contributions and silent auction proceeds. This money raised will allow MPNY to host mentoring forums and monthly mentoring meetings for over 120 mentoring professionals in NYC. These opportunities are crucial to mentoring professionals, as the majority of them manage the programs solely.

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. Like our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/mentoringny and encourage 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.
