An Evening with Paul Taylor Dance Company to Benefit the Celiac Disease Center

I am thrilled to be part of a wonderful fundraiser this March to benefit the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University. Although I have attended this event for the past two years, this is the first time I am hands-on in the organization. As an organizer, I have helped secure some fantastic donations, spread the word on blogs, Facebook, and Twitter, as well as meet the wonderful dancers of the Paul Taylor Dance Company. Last Friday, I was at the beautiful dance studios on the Lower East Side of Manhattan taking pictures and enjoying a rehearsal. To be that up close and personal with such amazing talent was wonderful. I do hope you join us on Tuesday, March 2nd for this fundraiser and dance performance.
