Children of Chernobyl’s Second Annual Purim Masquerade Ball

Children of Chernobyl (CCOC) launches its new leadership division with a star-studded event, including a celebrity roster of attendees, a raffle sponsored by JetBlue Airways, and an open bar headlined by Maker’s Mark. To date, this organization has rescued 2,580 children on 83 rescue missions, airlifting innocent, sick children from Chernobyl—an area devastated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear explosion. Even in light of the current economic downturn, celebrities and New York’s young professionals have committed to this event in full force, donating time, money and raffle items to kick off the new leadership division and save children’s lives. Jake Hurwitz and Amir Blumenthal stars of MTV’s College Humor Show will be among the attendees. Time: 8:30 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Venue: M2 Ultra Lounge 530 W. 28th Street. Tickets are $36 per person.
