The Hope North Ping-Pong Ball

Posted on March 7, 2011 by Cause Effect Agency

On Sunday, March 27 Susan Sarandon and Mary Louise Parker will host a special benefit for Cause Effect Agency client Hope North at SPiN New York—the Hope North Ping-Pong Ball! This will be a fun evening of cocktails, free ping-pong, and music performances by Rufus Wainwright, Martha Wainwright, Josh Ritter, Jesse Malin, Charlie Mars, and Hope North founder Okello Sam himself.

Thanks to the generosity of the musicians, Mary-Louise, Susan, and her colleagues at SPiN, all of the proceeds from this event will go directly to Hope North. Tickets start from a minimum donation of $31.25, which covers all expenses for one Hope North student for a week. For a $250 donation (which covers two months of expenses), you can also enjoy a VIP pre-party with members of our stellar Host Committee.

The Host Committee includes Forest Whitaker, Keisha Whitaker, Chris Rock, Malaak Rock, Julianne Moore, Bart Freundlich, Adrian Grenier, Ellen Barkin, Julian Schnabel, Piper Perabo, Cynthia Hopkins, Anna Lappe and other fabulous people you will definitely enjoy meeting.

We anticipate that this event will sell out, so we encourage you to purchase tickets in advance. And please feel free to invite friends and colleagues via Facebook or with our PDF invitation. We look forward to seeing you there!
