JUSTIN BIEBER & GWEN STEFANI PRIZES RAISE THOUSANDS FOR HOLOCAUST SURVIVORS AT SUCCESSFUL NYC SUMMER SOIREE
New York— Two of America’s hottest pop stars, Justin Beiber and Gwen Stefani, recently did their fair share in helping aging Holocaust survivors when guests of iVolunteer bid for concert tickets and a meet and greet with Bieber and for Stefani’s signed guitar at a special silent auction. The soiree was held at the Inc Lounge in the Time Hotel in the heart of Times Square and raised thousands of dollars for New York City’s most successful visiting program for homebound Holocaust survivors.

iVolunteer’s young leadership board organized this first annual summer get-together to celebrate the group’s founder, Sheva Tauby, who was chosen as one of New York’s top 36 leaders under the age of 36 for 2010 by the New York Jewish Week. About 75 young professionals gathered to taste new kosher wines with imported cheeses while they placed their bids and did meet-and- greets of their own.

In addition, guests also bid on designer handbags, personal training sessions, beauty treatments, Shabbat table settings, a week at an Italian villa, Gold passports to Chelsea Piers and “Hopper” tickets to Disneyworld.

Jimmy Falon’s warmup man, Seth Herzog, was on hand to offer the crowd a few laughs. The evening’s sponsors were Andrew Borowick, PC; Buckman, Buckman and Reid; Jemb Realty and Metro Spaces.
About iVolunteer.

Founded in 2007, iVolunteer is a social network that brings Holocaust survivors and volunteers together at home and at social events. These programs include monthly, healthy, fun-filled luncheons for survivors and Friday night dinners for iVolunteers. iVolunteers come from all walks of life. Many are professionals who want to make a difference; others are local high school and college students who want to reach across the generations and establish unique friendships with lonely seniors.

If you know of a Holocaust survivor who would like to participate in the program, or if you would like to become an iVolunteer, contact Sheva Tauby at (646) 461.7748, info@iVolunteerny.com
