Event Recap: Voss Foundation Women Helping Women Luncheon

GoGreenRide was proud to sponsor the Voss Foundation’s fourth annual Women Helping Women Luncheon! The event took place on Nov. 14th at Dream Downtown and raised funds to provide African women and their families with access to clean water. Supermodel Selita Ebanks hosted the event, which honored fellow model Maya Halle Samuelsson and her husband, award-winning chef Marcus Samuelsson, for their work improving health in Ethiopia through their Three Goats foundation. The Voss Foundation does extraordinary work helping to fulfill the basic water needs of communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Women and girls are the primary collectors of water and walk many miles to fetch it, leaving them with little time for education or enterprise. The Voss Foundation’s projects afford these women the opportunity to improve their lives and those of their communities.

Event Recap: EcoCult

There's nothing like being part of an awesome party, so last week, GoGreenRide was the official car service provider of Ecocult's Launch Party in Williamsburg because when you have this much fun on a night out, the last thing you should worry about is getting a cab. The awesome event brought together green editors, bloggers, and fashion designers in the New York area, all enjoying an open bar provided by Prairie Organic vodka and three notable DJs–Illich Mujica (see him at Cielo, Output, Hudson Hotel), Cry Baby (Le Bain, Panther Room), and Ex Ex Ex (Le Poisson Rouge) who spun dance tracks until the wee hours. For party pics and a full recap check out EcoCult's Post Here.

Event Recap: Hearing Health Foundation Summer Soiree

On June 11, GoGreenRide was proud to be a part of the Hearing Health Foundation's Summer Soiree benefit at The West 79th Street Boat Basin Cafe. Although forecasted to rain, the evening turned out to be a beautiful night filled with great BBQ food, delicious drinks and inspiring people. Hearing Health Foundation is the largest private funder of hearing research and has remarkably given more than $30 million to hearing and balance research. With fundraising events like this week's Summer Soiree, the foundation moves closer and closer to their mission in preventing and curing hearing loss.

One of our valued GoGreenRide members, Michael Kolodny, is a National Junior Board Member of the Hearing Health Foundation and helped put together the successful event that hosted over two hundred people. The Summer Soiree featured a silent auction and a raffle that GoGreenRide was thrilled to contribute to. For the silent auction, GGR provided complimentary transportation to and from a wine tasting that was being auctioned off. GoGreenRide is so happy to have supported such a great event and to have contributed in making hearing loss a thing of the past.
