On Saturday, May 9th 2009, the Helene Marks Early Start Foundation held its annual Spring Benefit at Broadway Baby Bistro in New York City. This event was a fun-filled afternoon dedicated to our smallest supporters: the children!

Hot dogs, popcorn , chocolate, and cotton candy were enjoyed by all! The event was a great success, raising awareness of the Helene Marks Early Start Foundation as well as monies for additional libraries for the children. *Justin Roberts was accompanied by Liam Davis and Gerald Dowd.
