NYC FLiPs: Support One of Your Own at Two Fun Events

FLiPs, we know from our events how multi-talented you are, and that one of those talents is having a good time!  And when that good time is for a fellow FLiP’s good cause…all the better.  FLiP friend Rachel Doyle, Founder of nonprofit GlamourGals, tells us about two upcoming events that will support GG’s program.  On Friday, May 15th GG will host its first-annual Haute Pink Luncheon from 12-2pm, to be followed by the annual Glamour in the City benefit from 8-10pm.  Both events are being held at Openhouse Gallery, located at 201 Mulberry Street in SoHo.  For ticket pricing and to register, go here.  Event details below.

GlamourGals’ local mission is to foster intergenerational relationships between teen girls and elderly women living in senior homes through monthly facials and makeovers.  Its national mission is to create the structure and provide the resources that encourage compassionate teen leadership through local intergenerational programming.
