SILENT AUCTION AND RAFFLE FOR PS 89
Tribeca MedSpa will host a fundraiser for PS 89 (owner Camille Meyer is a parent) on Wednesday, Nov. 13, from 6 to 8p. Anyone is welcome — there are no tickets — and all proceeds from a silent auction and raffle will go to the school. The staff will also be on hand for free skincare consultations, and 10 percent of any bookings made that night will also go to the school. The spa is also celebrating its 13th (!) anniversary this month! Tribeca MedSpa is at 114 Hudson between Franklin and N. Moore.
