The New York Junior League 2019 Winter Ball

The recipient of a master’s in accountancy from Bentley University, Kate Merli draws upon previous experience with companies such as KPMG in her role as chief financial officer at New 2nd Capital. Outside of her responsibilities with the New York-based private equity firm, Kate Merli dedicates herself to a range of philanthropic pursuits, including volunteering with the New York Junior League (NYJL).

One of the most important women’s volunteer organizations in New York City, NYJL has assisted underserved communities in the metropolitan area for more than 100 years. Today, nearly 3,000 NYJL volunteers offer their time, energy, and expertise to direct service projects and collaborative partnerships with more than 20 community organizations. To finance its initiatives, NYJL relies on funds raised through individual donations, corporate sponsorships, and events such as the annual Winter Ball.

The organization’s largest fundraising event, the Winter Ball brings together NYJL members and supporters to honor outstanding volunteers and celebrate the success of community initiatives. The NYJL 2019 Winter Ball will be held February 23 at Pier 60 at Chelsea Piers in Manhattan. In addition to honoring five of the organization’s most active volunteers of 2018, the event will feature both a silent and live auction as well as cocktails, dinner, and a reception.

A range of sponsorships are available for the 2019 Winter Ball. To learn more or to reserve tickets, visit www.nyjl.org/winter-ball.
