Saving Mothers Fundraiser, Thursday, March 11

Dear Columbia Postbacs,

Please join us for a benefit organized by Drops Fill Buckets on behalf of Saving Mothers. The event will take place on Thursday, March 11 from 8 to 10 p.m. at The Gates in New York City. During this time, we will have an open bar with specialty cocktails plus appetizers and entertainment. (The Gates, an elegant lounge, will be closed to the public during this time; you are welcome to stay afterward.). The event will include an auction with items such as a swim date with Michael Phelps, trips to Napa/the Grammys, etc.

For post-bacs, this would be a great way to network with physicians in New York City.

Tickets cost $40 per person in advance and $50 per person at the door. For tickets, please go to: http://www.thegatesnyc.com/charity.asp?eveid=178&proid=100 . We have already sold 140+ tickets but are working hard to reach our goal of 250 tickets sold.

Saving Mothers members who attend this fundraiser will also receive a special gift. To find out how you can become an official Saving Mothers member, please go to: http://www.savingmothers.org/members.php
