Thought you all would be excited to see this video of the July 30th DIGNITY photo auction and benefit that NYfA (formerly Young Professionals for Acumen) put on in conjunction with the wonderful Nuru Project. This video was just posted today. Many thanks to all of you who helped make this event such a huge success. 2 months of planning, over 40 volunteers, and $25,000 raised! Please share with your networks and invite them to join NYfA.
