Bachelor/ette Auction by WgirlsNYC at M2 Ultra Lounge

What were my feelings on one of the most anticipated events of the Spring charity season? AMAZING!!

Emilie and Jessi Marquez

May 28th, the WGIRLSNYC hosted the Opportunity Rocks” Bachelor/ette Auction to support the Opportunity Network’s valuable programming.

M2 Lounge 

Over 500 NYC young professionals gathered to mix and mingle at M2 Ultra Lounge to cheer on the lucky bachelor/ettes, and celebrate the start of summer!

To purchase your hot date, there was a silent auction as well as a live auction. The available bachelor/ettes walked around with blinking pins so they were quick to identify. 

If buying a date isn't your thing, the Wgirls also auctioned off weekend stays and gift certificates. 
Belvedere and HobNob supplied a fabulous open bar.  I may have had a few black raspberry martini's. 
Justin Ross Lee chatted with me before being auctioned off. We tried to guesstimate his worth...he figured somewhere near $25 K. He was a pleasure to speak with as always, and his "interns" were quick to refill our empty glasses.
The crowd was good looking and fun...and ready to spend there money on charity.
JR from MTV's "The City" was auctioned off live. Having met him a few times at Brother Jimmy's it was very funny to watch. My friend Emilie proceeded to purchase him for $450. It's for a good cause though, right?
After the auctions ended, the DJ cranked up the music and started a full on dance party. Girls of all ages danced on the stage and couches. Men in suits ordered bottles of champagne and toasted to a successful evening. Favorite line of the night..."I may not have bought you, but can I buy you dinner." CLASSIC

XOXO

W girls Opportunity Rocks Bachelor/ette Auction

Get ready for one of the most anticipated events of the Spring charity season.  TONIGHT, the WGIRLSNYC are hosting the Opportunity Rocks” Bachelor/ette Auction to support the Opportunity Network’s valuable programming. Over 500 NYC young professionals will gather to mix and mingle at M2 Ultra Lounge to cheer on the lucky bachelor/ettes, and celebrate the start of summer!

 

Don’t miss your chance to bid on one of NYC’s most attractive and popular singles.  This year’s group includes JR from MTV’s reality TV series “The City”.

 

The W girls will also be auctioning of AGAIG's favorite celeb: Justin Ross Lee

If you’re not into bidding on the auction, you can try your luck at the raffle, which includes such prizes as an overnight stays at the London and Giraffe Hotels, lingerie baskets, spa certificates, dinners, and more!

 

The main focus of this year’s fundraising is the Opportunity Network. The Opportunity Network is a career development program that creates access for high-performing but underserved public high school students to circles of influence in society.

 

Networking is consistently cited as the number one way to get a new job. But in the current job market it is difficult for experienced, “connected” professionals to get ahead, let alone young people starting out. 

 

This event will also help to fund Harlem RBI’s youth sports.

 

Help us support the well-being of local youth, and have an amazing time doing it!
