"We couldn't have asked for anything more from CharityHappenings.org! By listing TheAmerican 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 NY.
