Roslyn Heights, NY, August 1, 2016 — North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center (NSC&FGC) held its 3rd Annual Ladies Night Out event Thursday evening. For the past three summers, NSC&FGC’s Business Advisory Council has partnered with Equinox, located at 90 Northern Blvd, Greenvale, to deliver a variety of spa and beauty services and raffle opportunities to the women of our local communities to raise awareness of the programs and services of the Guidance Center.
More than 40 women attended the event, which raised in excess of $2000 to support children’s mental health and eradicate stigma. Attendees were treated to hand and chair massages. Long Island makeup artists Rebelle with a Gloss provided makeovers, while Huntington salon Salone di Bianca provided blow-outs and hair styling. Guests savored delicious small bites from Wat Chu Wan Wonton and sipped wine while they mingled. “The Guidance Center is so grateful to the staff at Equinox for their ongoing partnership and to the women in the community for their support of our mental health services for children and families,” said Board member Jo-Ellen Hazan, in her welcoming remarks.
