Ossining Children's Center

Special Events

The Ossining Children’s Center relies on our families and the community-at-large to help support our programs. We look forward to several special fundraisers each year and to having you join us.

Dine-A-Round

Every May, the Ossining Children’s Center holds their popular Dine-a-Round fund raising event, where you’re invited to enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and a live auction at a spectacular home overlooking the Hudson River and then dine at another special home.

This past year’s event was held on Saturday, May 30. Two hundred and forty seven guests met at the home of Becky and Art Samberg for an early evening cocktail party and auction. Following the auction, 167 guests scattered to the entre´e course at a dozen homes in the Briarcliff-Ossining area. The event netted $73,000 to fund child care scholarships and special projects.
