🗓️ Welcome
Welcome + Recap of Twelve Days of Christmas NYC Chapter Party with a Purpose

Hello LEVELUP in NYC Family,

Last week our friends from Twelve Days of Christmas NYC Chapter held their 15ht Annual Party with a Purpose event. It was an incredible success thanks to everybody who joined to support NYC youth in need. The event featured a lively atmosphere with an open bar, delicious food, and great music—all for a cause that truly matters. They raised vital funds to provide holiday gifts and school supplies to children across the city. If you’d like to keep the spirit of giving going you can learn more and donate here. Your support makes a world of difference! Dive into this week’s roundup of 20+ upcoming networking, career, and professional development events below to keep leveling up in every part of life. 🚀
