All In For New York CityFall Cocktail Reception

Join us for our annual fall cocktail reception as we come together to celebrate incredible leaders in the restructuring industry and raise funds in support of grassroots initiatives improving our great city.
The community leaders we support are the ones leading creative arts initiatives, food pantries, sports mentorship programs, health workshops for seniors, community gardens, and so much more. They are the small business owners providing opportunities and centers of community for their neighborhoods.
We’re deeply grateful for your partnership, which allows these grassroots leaders to create the change they envision for their communities. Together, we can build a New York that works for every New Yorker–with each of us doing our part to make it the greatest city in the world.
Time: 6:00 to 9:00PM Attire: Cocktail
