Wish you had the energy to give back after a trying day at the office but not feeling so social? There are even easier ways to give back! Dashing Diva is teaming up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for a Fundraiser.  Got enough money for your weekly mani-pedi? Then you’re invited!

What: Fundraiser to benefit the ‘Team In Training’ at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society

When: Tuesday, April 7, 2009.  5-8pm

Where: Dashing Diva, 201 E 15th Street @ 3rd Avenue

What: The fundraiser will offer manicure and pedicure for only $35.  Plus, 20% of the proceeds from the evening will be donated to the ‘Team In Training’ at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  The event will be open to the public, and all guests will receive a free Cosmo drink and gift bag with polish, file and other goodies.

Are you thankful this year? For anything? Keep your job? Someone sick you know get miraculously better? Get an A+ on a test? Pass the bar exam? Get asked out by the hottie you’ve been crushing on? Well, Smartypanties challenges you to give back!

We are so super impressed with a young group of NYC girls who decided to get involved in their community, City Chicks for Charity. These girls invented a way to combine charitable giving, drinking, socializing and meeting new friends–genius!

Between working ridiculous hours, juggling crazy amounts of first dates, and trying to find 5 minutes to make that pilates class, how does the modern metropolitan woman find time to give back to the community?

Answer: City Chicks 4 Charity. CC4C understands the demands of being a young professional woman and aims to make it as easy as possible to volunteer while having fun and maybe even having a cocktail or two along the way. CC4C’s goal is to provide young ladies a friendly and fun environment to get involved with a unique variety of charitable endeavors.

When: Mon, March 30, 7:00pm – 9:30pm
