Mayor's Fund Benefit Fete de Swifty
09/29/2010 - By New York, NY

Mayor's Fund Benefit Fete de Swifty

Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, Mayor’s Fund Board of Advisors Chair Rob Speyer, Board Member Liz Smith, and President Megan Sheekey kicked off the 2010 Fete de Swifty benefit in Manhattan.

The event, founded by Liz Smith and hosted by the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City raised money to support the Family Justice Center Initiative, administered by the Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Violence. The initiative reduces barriers faced by victims of domestic abuse, allowing them to access a variety of services, such as prosecutorial, counseling, housing and financial assistance, under one roof. Mayor Bloomberg opened the first Family Justice Center in Brooklyn in 2005. In 2008, a second center opened in Queens, and the City’s third center opened in April in the Bronx. This year, the event is also benefiting the New York City Housing Authority’s Early Childhood programs, which provide children in NYCHA public housing communities with high-quality early care and learning opportunities for overall child development, and school and lifelong success.

This year’s Fete de Swifty Honorary Chairs were Mary J. Blige, Tim Gunn, Mariska Hargitay, Nicole Kidman, John Starks, Steve Stoute, and Malik Yoba. The steering committee included Liz Smith, Stephen Attoe, Robert Caravaggi, David Patrick Columbia, Deborah Krulewitch, Christopher Meigher, Gillian Miniter, Peter Rogers, and Bill Stubbs. Junior Leader Chairs were Jake Bright, Sora Caetano, Keri Ingvarsson, Mia Morgan and Mile Muse. Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, Commissioner Yolanda Jimenez of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Violence and NYCHA Chairman John Rhea were also on hand for the event.
