New York City, the city that never sleeps, recently witnessed a dazzling event that combined glitz, glamor, and a heartfelt cause. City Harvest’s 2024 Gala: Magic of Motown was a night to remember, and Sharebite stood front and center as one of the main sponsors.
On April 10, 2024, the iconic Cipriani 42nd Street played host to this spectacular gala. The air buzzed with excitement as celebrities, influencers, and high-profile individuals gathered to celebrate a shared mission: feeding New Yorkers in need. And what a mission it was! The gala raised enough funds to provide 10 million meals—a staggering number that will make a real difference in the lives of those facing food insecurity.
The spotlight shone on two remarkable individuals: Alex Cohen and John Legend. These champions of compassion have dedicated themselves to ensuring that no New Yorker goes hungry. Their unwavering commitment to providing those in need with free, nutritious food has touched countless lives. As they stepped onto the stage to receive their well-deserved honors, the room erupted in applause.
Guiding us through the evening’s festivities was none other than the charismatic Taye Diggs. His wit, charm, and genuine passion for the cause set the tone for the night. From heartfelt speeches to lively banter, Diggs kept the energy high as we celebrated the magic of Motown.
The gala wasn’t just about elegant gowns and tuxedos—it was about action. A live auction added an element of suspense, with bidders vying for exclusive experiences and priceless items. And when the dance floor opened up, the room came alive. Celebrities twirled, influencers grooved, and other attendees moved to the rhythm of compassion.
Our Sharebite crew looked sharp, and our logo sparkled on the red carpet. But the true star of the night? City Harvest. The City Harvest team works tirelessly to feed those in need right in NYC, and hosting this gala was just one example of how. The event was extraordinary, and Sharebite couldn’t have been prouder to sponsor it.
But that’s not where our partnership ends. Sharebite partners with City Harvest every day on its mission to feed every worker in America and ultimately, end hunger. For every transaction made on the Sharbeite platform by a client in the NYC area, Sharebite donates a meal to someone in need on behalf of that client via City Harvest.
Amidst the glitz and glamor, the heart of the gala beat for a cause. City Harvest’s efforts culminated in a staggering achievement: raising enough money to deliver 10 million meals to people in need. These funds will directly impact the lives of New Yorkers, ensuring that they don’t go to bed hungry. It’s a triumph of compassion, community, and collective action.
So here’s to City Harvest, to Sharebite, and to every person who believes in the magic of giving. Let’s continue to feed our community, one meal at a time.
