For our readers in the New York City region: On Friday, February 12, 2010, at the Grand Ballroom at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, 42nd Street, New York, more than 200 professionals from the spa and healing arts community, and the health and beauty industry of New York City metro area will be offering treatments to benefit UNICEF and the children of Haiti. This one-of-a-kind event will bolster the outstanding work that UNICEF has been doing in Haiti on behalf of children, many of whom have been injured and orphaned due to the January earthquakes and subsequent tremors. Participants in the open-to-the-public event can partake of an extensive array of special services ranging from massages, manicures, facials and makeovers to acupuncture, yoga, exercise and fitness. Also, there will be opportunities to participate in the Healing Arts For Haiti silent auction featuring spa treatments, gift items, gift certificates, and more. One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit efforts to assist the Haitian community to rebuild. The event will take place from 12pm to 8pm.
“The Grand Hyatt Hotel has graciously donated its showplace for everyday New Yorkers to show their love on the weekend of Valentine’s Day for UNICEF and its stellar efforts in Haiti,” states Bruce Schoenberg, Co-Founder, Oasis Day Spa and Fundraising Chair, Healing Arts For Haiti. “Our efforts are all voluntary and the support has been tremendous. We are planning an event to send love and support in our own way – through healing techniques and positive energy.” Along with The Grand Hyatt Hotel New York and Oasis Day Spa, additional supporting organizations and media partners include: Swedish Institute, Spa Magazine, American Spa Magazine, Curiosity Works, Reed Exhibition, SpaFinder, Sheckys, Dermalogica, Savoy Professional Magazine, Matis Paris, MD Corrective Care, What’s Hot! and Day Spa Association.
