Impact: Funded Gilda's Club's inaugural "Noogie Field Trips" program that brought together children and families of both organizations for 3 "see the city" field trips during the Summer 2007. nycTIES members helped to plan, facilitate and staff the trips to the Hall of Science, Prospect Park and Chelsea Piers. Also, nycTIES' donation helped to underwrite costs for Gilda's Club flagship event, "NoogieFest," a Halloween-themed festival that brought together the children of both organizations.

"It is unusual to find an organization that is dedicated to helping non-profits on so many levels as nycTIES. They have supported us with their volunteers, raised money on our behalf - and introduced our organization to their friends, associates and peers - an audience who had been unfamiliar with our program of cancer support. Most importantly, they embraced our organization and partnered with us to make sure everything we did was a success!"
