AMA’s Diamond Hearts Gala 2016

Setting up the entire venue was not easy. Took a team of about 10 AMA volunteers to bring Avenue Nightclub into a Valentines Day inspired theme special for every person sharing this evening with us. We had sponsors for everything !! Flowers, chocolate candy, crystals, food, alcohol, music, raffles, silent auctions and even diamonds!

The room was quick to fill up and words were spoken by our good friend and former Jets player, Chad Cascadden, NYC comptroller and politician, Scott Stringer as well as one of the two co-founders of AMA Animal Rescue, Anna Khazanova. Here are some of our gala attendees. Each one of them is wonderful. All images were shot by the ever so talented, RM Digital Photography by Rafal Ostrowski. Guest appearances include: Chad Cascadden, Katie Cleary, Valentina Zelyaeva, Scott Stringer, Dorinda Medley as well as some of the cast of Bravo’s TV Show, Work Out New York.

With the following silent auction stations we had something for everyone:

• “The Diamond Vault” full of breathtaking jewels for auction.
• “The Entertainment Center” filled with tickets and more to your favorite games or shows.
• “The Beauty Bar” where you could spoil yourself with amazing spa gifts and treatments
• “The Sports Arena” where you could find fantastic sports memorabilia and signed items
• “The Pet’s Palace” with adorable items for our furry loved ones.
• “The Art Gallery” with incredible art for your collection.
