VVA, LLC & TitleVest give back with 4th annual toy drive

On November 30, VVA Project Managers & Consultants and TitleVest hosted the 4th annual "Friends of New York Real Estate" Toy Drive which collected not only hundreds of toys, but more than $10,000 to benefit disadvantaged children in and around New York City. Proceeds from the event will benefit The New York Foundling and HELP USA. The New York Foundling is one of the city's oldest and largest social service agencies, which provides a haven for children whose safety is at risk. HELP USA provides long-term housing and supportive services to the homeless and people in need, many of which are women and children, to become and remain self reliant. "We are thankful for everyone who participated in the Toy Drive, including sponsors and attendees. We rely almost entirely on donations for this event, including the venue, generously donated by Knoll; the food, drinks and raffle prizes, and once again had a tremendous outpouring of support," said Ray Arnold, managing director of VVA. "We are so happy to be able to brighten the holiday season for some of New York's neediest kids." The benefit, garnered a huge turnout from the law firm, real estate, design and construction industries, among others. This benefit featured beverages from The Sopranos Wines, as well as tasty hors d'oeuvres from several local restaurants and food purveyors, including The Palm West Restaurant and Krinos. In addition there were exciting raffle prizes, including sporting tickets, a flat screen TV, vacation packages and much more! The event was hosted by Antinéa Rivera of TitleVest, and Ray Arnold and Sarah Currie of VVA.
