"We promoted our POSH® Sale, New York city’s largest fashion fundraiser of the year with CharityHappenings.org. The response was fantastic. Though we advertised the event through some other major NYC media outlets, the CharityHappenings.org list delivered the highest return, by far. We are looking forward to working with them on our next event."-Kim Rossi, Online Content Manager, Lighthouse International
"We promoted our Raising the Stakes benefit event through the
CharityHappenings.org newsletter on two occasions. We had a wonderful response
to both! The staff was wonderful, and provided us with the appropriate target
audience for our event—we look forward to working with CharityHappenings.org
again on another event!”
-Elizabeth Lee, Development Coordinator, Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, Inc.
"We couldn't have asked for anything more from CharityHappenings.org! By listing The American Red Cross in Greater New York's Cocktails for a Cause event on their website and e-mail, we were able to reach thousands of new potential donors to further our mission. As a special events planner I was astounded at the quantity and quality of their contacts. Partnering with CharityHappenings.org gave us the ability to increase the profile and awareness of our event like never before. This service is an asset to a non-profits' event publicity for a modest fee with immense return. We will definitely be using their website again!"-Michelle Seligman Weinraub, Director, Special Events American Red Cross in Greater New York

"Charityhappenings.org and "The Circuit" newsletter is a powerful and effective way to reach influential & affluent young professionals in NYC.

We are excited to work with Charityhappenings.org again on our next event."-Brianna J. Barker. Public Relations Manager. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, NYC
“Thanks
to the support of CharityHappenings.org & ‘The Circuit,’ the
Ultimate Summertime Party to support the National MS Society, NYC
Chapter was a great success and was able to reach out and sell tickets to new fundraisers and
partygoers at this summer’s event. I look forward to building our
relationship, and growing our events with CharityHappenings.org in the
near future.” -Lauren Grosz, Development Manager/ Special Events, National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
"The Cancer Research Institute’s recent Spring into Style event at Saks Fifth Avenue was a smashing success, due in large part to the media sponsorship we received from CharityHappenings.org. By listing our event on the website, sending out a dedicated email to over 40,000 individuals and providing great post-event coverage, CharityHappenings.org helped the Cancer Research Institute bring in a sold-out crowd of over 300 people and raise more than $20,000. We’re thrilled to be associated with a brand that is helping us bring the Institute’s important work to the forefront of the New York philanthropic community. Thank you, CharityHappenings.org, for helping to make our event so successful!"
-Anita Schmidt, Event Coordinator, Cancer Research Institute
"Thank you for letting me know about The Circuit. We had a very big response and our event sold out!" -Dr. Michael Ascher, Young Professionals Society for the Arts.
I have been an avid user of Charity Happenings for a few years. Ease of
use and access to an array of charity events are just some of the
highlights of the site. However, when I had my own charity event to
promote, I soon learned of the site's other capabilities. Justin, the
site's owner, worked with me last minute to send out a featured e-mail
to reach more than 25,000 readers and draw attention to the upcoming
charity event. Within an hour, I had numerous responses and more than
15 ticket sales. Another great feature of Charity
Happenings is the effortlessness of posting events. Edits are approved
in a timely manner, and the person posting can see how many have viewed
the summary posting and who has delved into the detail page. Moving
forward, my company will be utilizing Charityhappings.org to maximize
viewership and therefore attendance at charity events. The Charity
Happenings team is a pleasure to work with, and is a vital resource for
anyone either interested in attending charity events or involved in the
planning.-Laureen Lipsky, The Aubrey Fund benefiting The Sloan Kettering Center for Pediatric Cancer Research
Being featured in the “GET INVOLVED” newsletter brought many new and enthusiastic supporters to Project Sunshine. Not only have we had an influx of interested volunteers but each has been genuinely excited about Project Sunshine’s mission and eager to participate. Thank you for bringing these passionate individuals to our cause! -Lauren Fuller, Development Officer, Project Sunshine
"Charity Happenings helped our organization The Honeysuckle
Foundation for Children with Cancer promote our events and led to new

all of your help!" -Rene A. Giacalone, Executive Director, Honeysuckle Foundation for Children with Cancer
"CharityHappenings.org and The Circuit newsletter is an easy and affordable way to increase participation of young NYC professionals in important charitable causes.

"Charity Happenings has been a tremendously useful resource for The
Brain Injury Association of New York State (BIANYS)...the publicity

"We were stunned at the great turn-out we got by listing our Cancer Research Institute Young Philanthropists Midsummer Social on the CharityHappenings.org calendar. Traffic to our Web site's event pages really spiked--CharityHappenings.org was the #2 traffic source for the week--when your e-newsletter, The Circuit, featured our event as "The best event to meet your future spouse." Thank you, CharityHappenings.org, for helping to make our event such a success. The Cancer Research Institute Young Philanthropists will be going to Charity Happenings first to list all our future events."
