We are delighted that you have joined us for the first NYC Volunteer Expo to be held in the Big Apple! Our Manhattan Chamber of Commerce Community Benefit Fund is dedicated to supporting non-profit organizations throughout Manhattan and we are very happy to bring 60 organizations to this event to promote their services to you! Our intention is to bring visibility to the many non-profit organizations exhibiting here in Vanderbilt Hall and to help them find new volunteers to support their very worthy missions. These organizations are the unsung heroes in our city, providing services that help to improve the quality of life of all New Yorkers. This event would not have taken place without our able-bodied Steering Committee; Phyllis White-Thorne of Con Edison, Patricia Cole of JP Morgan Chase and Nina Liebman whose initial inquiry to us about volunteer opportunities planted the seed which grew into Share Your Heart, NYC…Volunteer! And many thanks to the Corporate Volunteers of New York, especially to Liza Fabian Illonardo, Rebecca Sherman and Margot Cochran whose hard work and efforts with the exhibiting organizations brought them to this event. We would also like to recognize Paul Kastner of Jones Lang LaSalle representing Grand Central Terminal, who immediately stepped up to the plate to take the lead as Presenting Sponsor of the expo. And his staff and in particular, Jennifer Claire Scott, whose dedication and efforts to bring in the International Special Events Society and involve its members have been extraordinary! The support of our sponsors – AJ Bart, Altria, Con Edison, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Moon & Company, Standard & Poors, The Surdna Foundation, Verizon Foundation, and Volunteer Management Group – has been invaluable and we thank them for their involvement. And lastly, we would like to thank all of the exhibiting organizations who continue every day to help our city and its denizens. With the crunch of funding effecting all of the non-profit organizations these days, we hope that you will sign up to volunteer and Share Your Heart this Valentine's season and always! Thank you for attending and for your support!
