Coro Awards Benefit

April 24th marked the 2013 Civic Leadership Awards Benefit – Coro's annual celebration of its work building the leadership of New York City.   Over 400 alumni and supporters joined Coro's leadership, helping to generate over $530,000 in support.

New York relies on Coro for the commitment, vision and leadership of its alumni to help build a better city.  Coro, in turn, relies on members of its alumni community to help build a better Coro by becoming financial contributors.  Alumni support is critical to helping us fund Coro's scholarship fund, invest in program innovation and continue to provide high quality, cost-free programming to its alumni community.

Coro would like to applaud its many alums – too numerous to list here – who supported and attended the Awards Benefit.  We are also especially grateful for the hard work and commitment of the following alumni Benefit Co-Chairs and members of the Benefit Committee:  Andrew Kimball, Craig Robinson, Stephen Beninati, Greg Berman, Melissa Román Burch, Richard Caccappolo, Matthew Fassler, Cordelia Persen, Tucker Reed, and Travis Terry. We are also appreciative of the partnership of Astic Productions, lead by Leadership New York alum Stephanie Astic.
