I’m full of hope after attending this event and meeting dedicated doctors, researchers, fundraisers, donors, and fellow parents in the Dravet community. It’s a club we never wanted to join, but it’s full of remarkable people I am honored to know the bravest children. – Wendy Fry, Dravet parent
Everything about the City Bash was on point. The atmosphere and energy of the crowd was perfect, the food was excellent, and the flow of the event was seamless. – Dana Haddox-Wright, Dravet parent
It was really a great night! I loved spending time with so many people all working together to fight this disease. – Maryanne Houser, Dravet parent
An evening of Food, Fun & Friends
Dravet Syndrome Foundation’s CITY BASH took place in April, 6 2017 at
Gramercy Farmer & The Fish, New York City.
Because of the generosity of family, friends, and supporters we raised over $250,000!
THANK YOU to all that helped make this fun night a success!
VIP Tasting
We kicked off the evening with VIP Tasting of single malts, champagne & caviar with some truly generous supporters. Gentlemen were treated to a selection of single malts courtesy of Glenmorangie, and ladies sampled champagnes. Both were paired with impeccable small bites from the chef at Farmer and the Fish.
Hors d’oeuvres and Cocktail Hour
Guests were greeted with delicious hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. The signature style of the venue “farm to table fish house” stood out in beautiful presentations. A raw bar, charcuterie table, and cocktails were enjoyed by all.
Dinner & Mingling with Friends of DSF
We were incredibly honored to be joined by friends and supporters of DSF from across the country. Guests included physicians, researchers, and philanthropists devoted to supporting the Foundation’s efforts. Their support is vital to finding a cure for this horrible disease.
Silent & Live Auctions
Thanks to the huge outpouring from friends and family, we had some amazing items to offer for auction. Stand out items included priceless vacation houses in wine country California and a beachfront estate in Nicaragua, a trip for 2 touring the Kentucky Bourbon trail, and dinner for 12 at the famous James Beard House in NYC.
