What a successful night! The Sheraton New York was brimming with festivity as we joined over 500 EM professionals in celebration. We are proud and honored to have been a part of what has been the the best Emerging Markets Charity Benefit yet! Plenty of drinks, delicious food, great prizes and, of course, good company. Simon Treacher once again made a heroic effort taming the crowds for an exciting auction where a number of bidding wars ensued. Thanks to all of you who participated in the live auction and helped raise over $50,000. The silent auction was also very well bid and raised $20,000.
A special thanks to all of you that made this evening possible. From the Patrons - JPMorgan and BGC Partners - to the sponsors, the bidders, and all the members of the EMCB Committee. We congratulate you on a spectacular evening!
