| Threats of thunderstorms didn't deter over 230 people from attending last week's 2nd Annual Design, Construction and Real Estate Reception to benefit SHARE (Self Help for Women with Breast or Ovarian Cancer) at Haworth's Park Avenue showroom. SHARE exec director Alice Yaker has it right: This industry loves to party. The event raised over $125k, 90% of which will bring SHARE's Pink & Teal Seminar Program into the corporate workplace, providing info, resources, direction, and support to women with breast or ovarian cancer. Pictured above are the volunteer chairs, leadership, and event committees with the evening's honorees, Havas Worldwide's Nancy Wynne and BlackRock's Shelly Bloch (bottom row, center and second from right). |
