Peachy Deegan Cannot Wait Look At Our Official Countdown Button 54 More Days! SEVENTH ANNUAL FETE DE SWIFTY TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE NEW YORK CITY FAMILY JUSTICE CENTER AND NEW YORK HOUSING AUTHORITY’S EARLY CHILDHOOD PROGRAMS * * * Annual Benefit Features Street Fair Festivities

The Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City will host its 7^th Annual Fete de Swifty benefit on Wednesday, September 29, 2010, from 6:00 PM until 9:00 PM, on East 73^rd Street (between Lexington & Third Avenues in Manhattan). Proceeds from the event will benefit the New York City Family Justice Center Initiative, a unique public/private program administered by the Mayor’s Office to Combat Domestic Violence that provides services in one location with partnering City agencies and community providers to increase the effectiveness of service delivery to help break the cycle of violence. This year, the event will also benefit the New York City Housing Authority’s Early Childhood programs, which provide children in NYCHA public housing communities with high-quality early care and learning opportunities for overall child development, and school and lifelong success.

This year, Mary J. Blige, Tim Gunn, Mariska Hargitay, Nicole Kidman, John Starks, Steve Stoute and Malik Yoba are serving as the honorary chairs of the event, which was founded by Liz Smith.
Fete de Swifty’s combination of street fair and cocktail party has been a unique event in New York City since 2004. Over that time, Fete has raised critical funds to support public programs through the Mayor’s Fund to Advance New York City. The Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City serves as the umbrella not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization for the City of New York.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
