ProjectExplorer's Thailand Launch Party raises $8,500 for global education
ProjectExplorer held their Thailand Launch Party on October 17, 2011, at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in New York. The event featured an auction, cocktail hour and after party, hors d'oeuvres, and the premier of the company's new Thailand video series, "Sawasdee, Thailand!".
The Thailand series has 50 videos total which are all free for students, as the mission of the organization is to "foster the next generation of global citizens by encouraging awareness of the world beyond a student's own community through the creation and distribution of engaging and free multimedia educational materials".
Andrew McCarthy, actor, director, and travel writer, spoke at the VIP screening of the event, which was followed by mingling, drinking, and eating. Tote bags filled with magazines (which included many destination travel articles) and a baked good were given to attendees.
With 200 in attendance at the event, ProjectExplorer was able to raise $8,500 toward their next educational series.
