As we gather together to celebrate Anderson’s momentous 20th annual event, I feel incredibly grateful. Grateful for the top-notch public education our children receive every day under the guidance of the best teachers and administration in New York City. Grateful to be a part of a strong and passionate community of parents who care deeply about education. Grateful for the behind-the-scenes parent volunteers who have dedicated their time and energy to make this night a success. And grateful to be a part of a team and an event that is truly special, an event that brings our unique five-borough community together as one to celebrate and support our remarkable school. Tonight is the night we can all make a difference. Our funding has been hit hard by City and State budget cuts beyond our control, but tonight we can ensure our kids will continue to have the essential programs and tools they need to succeed. Special thanks to our restaurant and beverage sponsors providing tonight’s delicious food and drinks, the parents and teachers who helped to create the extraordinary class projects, and all of the donor businesses and parents who have contributed and solicited the exceptional array of donations this year. And to my family, David, Avery and Carson — thank you for your love and support. On behalf of the entire Auction Team, we invite you to shop, eat, drink and have a blast.
