Young Philanthropists “A New Force for Good” To Benefit Cancer Research Institute

Young Philanthropists “A New Force for Good” To Benefit Cancer Research Institute

Amanda Robin and Eden Cohen

On Tuesday, August 5th, 130 young professionals and students gathered for an exclusive two-hour “Midsummer Social” at Mantra 986 in midtown Manhattan to support the inaugural event of the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) Young Philanthropists.

The CRI Young Philanthropists are a network of socially-conscious, young professionals in their 20s and 30s who are committed to supporting the Cancer Research Institute’s efforts to advance immunological research toward the development of cancer vaccines and other immune-based cancer therapies. The Cancer Research Institute formed the group earlier this year to provide the next generation of philanthropic leaders an opportunity to become “a new force for good” that will help create a world free from the fear of cancer.

Event chair Stephen Balik and CRI Young Philanthropist chair Leslie Salter were on hand to welcome everyone who turned out to show their support for the Institute. Ms. Salter briefly remarked about the Institute’s powerful mission and invited event-goers to join the CRI Young Philanthropists.

Guests enjoyed a top-shelf open bar and private access to Mantra’s second-floor lounge and balcony overlooking Second Avenue. A VIP prize drawing featured: a weekend getaway package including two nights at The Premier Hotel of the Millennium Broadway in Times Square plus dinner for two at the 4-star restaurant, Aureole; four box seats to the Mets vs. Braves game at Shea Stadium, courtesy of General Glass International; and an official NFL football signed by New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
