Inside The New York Junior League Savor the Spring

On April 29, the New York Junior League (NYJL) held Savor the Spring: The Secret Garden at the organization's Astor House headquarters on the Upper East Side. Since 1901, the NYJL has responded to New York City’s most pressing socioeconomic challenges. Powered by more than 2,300 women volunteers, the NYJL works with more than 60 community-based organizations to advance children’s social-emotional learning and to provide life skills programs to youth and adults who are navigating periods of difficult transition. Proceeds from Savor the Spring and other fundraisers support the NYJL's community and advocacy work and leadership development.

Savor the Spring attendees experienced an evening of sommelier-led wine tastings, perfectly curated hors d’oeuvres, a live band, and silent and live auctions featuring luxury items and curated trips. VIPs enjoyed early admission with a dedicated champagne hour with oyster service, coupled with surprises throughout the night and signature cocktail tastings – hidden in the VIP only speakeasy – as well as an amazing gift bag! Sponsors included Ette Vodka, Bleu Royal Spirits, and Harlem Standard. The event was sold out with a record-breaking 100 VIP guests, leading to a revenue of $118,000.
