Kids in Distressed Situations Luncheon

Kids in Distressed Situations Luncheon

276 supporters of Kids in Distressed Situations, Inc. (K.I.D.S.) looked on as three extraordinary women of the fashion and media industries were celebrated at the organization’s 4th annual Women in Industry Luncheon.

This year’s honorees were: Elyse Kroll, Chairman & CEO of fashion trade show company ENK International; Liz Lange, Founder of Liz Lange Maternity and Christina Miller, Senior Vice-President of Cartoon Network Enterprises and Turner Sports. Critically acclaimed broadcast journalist Roz Abrams emceed the event on June 3rd in the Cotillion Room of the Pierre Hotel, and Silda Wall Spitzer provided a keynote speech on the changing face of volunteerism.

Abrams welcomed the attendees, stating “K.I.D.S. is unique in its ability to reach 4.5 million children in need every year to help them strive for a better life than they have. Your joining us this afternoon allows the organization, in its 25th year, to continue to make a difference in the future of our youth, one child at a time.”

Miller, also a Board Member of K.I.D.S., said in her acceptance speech, “the success this organization has had and continues to have each year would not be possible without the diverse range of partners and donors who are all committed to one shared goal: making a difference in children’s lives when they need it the most.” The event raised more than $140,000 for K.I.D.S., twice the amount of last year’s luncheon.
