On July 19th, 2007, a Gift From Alexa held it’s third annual fundraising dinner at the Woodbury Country Club in Woodbury, NY. Over 150 guests attended the event.

It began with an elaborate cocktail hour with over 60 Chinese auction raffle prizes. Some of the items included an IPOD and itunes card combination, restaurant gift cards at some of Long Islands top restaurants, Gucci Handbag and a Prada wallet. To see a full list of raffle items click here.

There were 31 items in the silent auction including a day of golf at prestigious private country clubs, premium Met, Yankee and Jet tickets as well as several VIP ticket packages to some of the most sought after live tapings of popular talk shows.

There was time for dancing before the live auction where 7 prize packages were offered. An example of two of these prizes included a diamond bracelet and front row tickets to see the Yankees. For the live auction listing, click here.

A raised curtain then revealed a Viennese dessert room for our guest to enjoy before picking up their winnings and goody bags at the nights end.

We are grateful to our dinner sponsors whom are critical to this event. For a sponsor list, click here.

In addition, we would like to thank our friends and the merchants who donated goods and services for their generosity. It is our hope that you will recognize these local businesses for their support to our cause and reward them with your patronage.
