Win tickets to the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles or a cocktail party and private FOX movie screening for 25 guests at The News Corporation’s private screening room! These are among the many unbelievable items up for auction at the YAI benefit for Hope Gala to be held Wednesday, November 17th at The Pierre in New York.

More than 550 guests and supporters are expected for a cocktail party and silent auction, to help raise urgently needed funds for programs and services for children and adults with developmental and learning disabilities and their families. The evening features a heartwarming dinner program and live auction presented by an auctioneer from Christie’s – the world-renowned auction house.

YAI Network Celebrity Spokesperson Sherri Shepherd of ABC’s The View will be joined by CBS The Early Show Co-Anchors Harry Smith and Erica Hill who will emcee the program. George S. Kaufman will be honored with the "Charlotte Parkinson Hope Award" and The McGraw-Hill Companies will be presented with the "Corporate Partner of the Year Award."

Last year’s record-breaking one million dollar Gala sold out four weeks in advance!
