Black Tie International:
"The Signature Event"

Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s
Center for Multicultural and Community Affairs
and Jazzmobile, Inc
First Time Collaborative Fundraising Event at
Harlem’s Uptown Grand

November 11, 2010

Earvin “Magic” Johnson, NYS First Lady,
Michelle Paige Paterson

Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s Center for Multicultural and Community Affairs and Jazzmobile, Inc held their first time collaborative fundraising event at Harlem’s Uptown Grand on Thursday, November 11 and the night was truly magical.
“The Signature Event” honorary co-chair, Earvin “Magic” Johnson, surprised everyone and raised a fast $20,000 in under 10 minutes by auctioning his own seats to a Laker’s game, along with the many VIP privileges that come with it. He was joined by his co-chair, New York State First Lady Michelle Paige Paterson who eloquently spoke about the great work of the dual historic organizations. Her husband, Governor David Paterson and Congressman Charles Rangel also greeted the 280 guests and spoke to the importance of supporting cultural diversity and education for youth living in disadvantaged communities.

WNBC-TV’s DeMarco Morgan dynamically emceed the evening which honored Jazz Master, Dr. Billy Taylor for his music education efforts in the Harlem community, Melinda Wolfe, Bloomberg LLP, for her corporate diversity efforts., Dr. Angela Diaz, Director of Mount Sinai’s Adolescent Health Center for her commitment to serving teens and young adults in the community and Dr. Ernest Benjamin for his extraordinary leadership and humanitarian efforts in the MSMC Haiti Relief effort.

This unique partnership demonstrates diverse facets of healing – music for the mind and spirit and traditional medical services for the body itself. Funds raised support the community programs of both organizations.
