On Wednesday May 5, 2010, New York Restoration Project (NYRP) hosted its 4th Annual Buds Spring Event, a party hosted by, for and in honor of NYRP’s Buds. The NYRP Buds bring together some of the city's hippest and greenest individuals – aged 21 to 40 – who are looking for meaningful, yet engaging ways to immerse themselves in the environmental advocacy NYRP stands for. This after-work benefit event was held under the stars at Top of the Strand, on the rooftop of the new contemporary luxury hotel in New York City. All proceeds benefit New York Restoration Project. Emily Conner, Juliette Cooke, Jon Recor, Beth Stellato and Sophie von Haselberg were event co-chairs. NYRP's Junior Board Sponsors included The Strand Hotel, VeeV Açaí Spirit , Kiehl's Since 1851, Metrokane, T-Salon and Equinox.
