As the sun was setting on the final Sunday in September, the party started with singer songwriter, Caleb Hawley, taking on all comers on the “vibrantly vibey” ping pong table in the VIP room at SPiN New York. The table tennis action also continued for a couple hours on other royal blue tables at SPiN. This year we invited the artists in our midst to showcase their passions for play on the boards posted around the VIP room and although all the artwork was inspired, there was no question that Josh was “artist of the day” with his DJ design! Before CALEB HAWLEY rocked the house with his tunes and talents, we also awarded special prizes for “Best in Show”, “Best Team”, “Best Dressed” and more…
Thanks to everyone who partied and “played good” in NYC, as well as those who pursued their passions and supported from afar… Major thank you to our sponsors The Village Voice, SPiN New York, Equinox Fitness, IFC Center, AC Gears, Organic Avenue, D’Agostino Supermarkets, Sam Ash Music, Jack Rabbit Sports, for their generous support. We already exceeded our fundraising goal for the event and people are still playing… All of the money raised will support cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
All in all, the kick-off party was a blast and another step towards defeating cancer through the power of play. LIKE US on Facebook and FOLLOW US on Twitter @playgood for more news soon about our exciting plans for 2013!
