On Tuesday, August 4th, Mercedes-Benz of White Plains hosted the 6th Annual Savor & Support at the CV Rich Mansion to benefit My Sisters' Place (MSP). Over 200 guests attended this successful event which raised over $25,000.
Mercedes-Benz of White Plains has supported hundreds of local organizations through various philanthropic efforts over the years. My Sisters' Place, though, a White Plains based organization that provides education, awareness, and legal services to those suffering from, or at risk of domestic violence, has developed an excellent partnership with Mercedes Benz of White Plains.
This after-work affair served to highlight this partnership, as MSP awarded General Manager Gary Turco with a plaque for 5 years of outstanding service. "It has been a pleasure getting to know this wonderful organization; we are so lucky to be in the position to support them and help them to truly change the lives of so many people in our community."
Mr. Turco presented MSP with $10,000 check and announced that Mercedes-Benz of White Plains will donate $50 to MSP for every new vehicle sold during the month of August and $1,000 for anyone who mentions MSP when purchasing a car.
"We are deeply appreciative of our partnership with Mercedes-Benz of White Plains," said My Sisters' Place CEO Karen Cheeks-Lomax, Esq. "Savor & Support is now a summer party staple driven by Gary Turco's commitment to stand with MSP and raise awareness about and shed light on intimate partner violence and human trafficking."
The event featured a silent auction, raffle, live music, massage lounge from Oasis Day Spa, and a special vodka bar, which featured Chazz and Gianna Palminteri's new vodka, Bivi.
Sponsors of Savor & Support included: Hollywood Mom, Auto Trader, Revo Marketing, Edmunds, Titan Outdoor, Motor Trek, Digital Airstrike, Westchester Magazine, and Caperberry Events.
