Like all New Yorkers, Marzia and I were deeply affected by the devastation Hurricane Sandy left in its wake last October. Given the fast pace of the world we live in, it is easy to forget just how many people are still struggling to recover from Sandy, even today. This year’s La Festa del Barolo kicked off with a charity dinner at Eleven Madison Park to benefit Robin Hood’s Sandy Relief Fund. David Saltzman, Robin Hood’s Executive Director, shared details on the work his organization has done thus far, which includes disbursements of over $70 million. Specifically, the $45,000 we raised at dinner will be directed towards the rebuilding of homes that were damaged during the storm.
