6th Annual YEB Spring Benefit
iMentor's Young Executive Board hosted its 6th Annual Spring Benefit at Taj Lounge on May 19th, 2009, bringing together over 200 young professionals from the New York City area to celebrate iMentor's work. The event was a huge success, raising close to $30,000 in an evening full of inspiration and excitement. This year's silent auction created a buzz as there was something for everyone. Packages included, the opportunity to watch the Yankees play the Mets in a luxury box, tickets to this year's BET Hip Hop Music Awards, Chanel and bliss beauty products, and tickets to the U.S. Open, just to name a few.
