Community Conscience is pleased to announce that its 26th annual Mardi Gras Ball will be held on Saturday, March 3, at the Hyatt Regency Westlake Village Hotel.  Mark your calendar now and plan to join in the festivities.

In 2012, the 92nd Street Young Men’s and Young Women’s Hebrew Association and the United Nations Foundation started #GivingTuesday as a response to commercialization and consumerism in the post-Thanksgiving season. It has grown into a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.
