Nov. 5. Doodle for Hunger Art Charity Event– Pier 60, Chelsea Piers

This is our favorite fundraising event every year.  Doodle for Hunger Art Charity event is a fun evening – cocktail party and fabulous buffet dinner – that auctions off signed original works of art by artists, and celebrities in every field –  like this one from Donald Trump (could become priceless). We love perusing the art. And this year’s guest or honor is Regis Philbin.  Musical Guest is actor Danny Aiello. The best part is that auction raising much needed funds for the great work done by St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters, which feeds, clothes, and counsels those in need. Last year they served over 1.2 million meals!  Event is at Pier 60, Chelsea Piers, individual tickets are $300.  Get details.
