New York, NY, November 11, 2016 --(PR.com)-- The Chauncey F. Lufkin III Foundation was a proud supporter of the The Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation at their 14th Annual Gala at Cipriani in downtown Manhattan last night, November 10 2016.
The event honored the Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Robert Manfred, Jr. and celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the 1996 World Champion New York Yankees, many of who were in attendance as well.
The evening’s program began with remarks by Co-Founders Joe and Ali Torre, followed by Yolanda Jimenez, the organization’s Executive Director, and four young speakers who have been involved in the program first hand.
"The Joe Torre Safe at Home Foundation has long been on our radar of organizations that we would like to support further. I would personally like to thank Joe and Ali Torre for being such gracious hosts to us at last night's gala, we appreciate all of the great work that the organization is doing to help kids who are exposed to domestic violence in the home. They can definitely count on The Chauncey F. Lufkin III Foundation to be a donor in 2017," said Chauncey Lufkin, Founder of the Chauncey F. Lufkin III Foundation.
