AJC ACCESS NY brought together hundreds of young professionals at its biggest fundraising event of the year on November 8, 2010 at the City Winery, located at 155 Varick Street in New York City.

Ambassador Ischinger, the Chairman of the preeminent global gathering on security (Munich Security Conference), was the keynote speaker, and Matthew Bronfman, business leader and philanthropist, shared remarks during the VIP reception. ACCESS was also joined by diplomats and leaders of other ethnic and religious groups they partner with throughout the year.

AJC ACCESS NY, supporters, and friends enjoyed an open bar, hors doeuvres, a great raffle (tickets to Broadway shows, hotel and restaurant vouchers, Bloomingdale’s gift card, portrait photography, case of excellent wine, jewelry, and more) and plenty of time to meet other Jewish professionals, mingle, and network. The Slingshot Fund, a group of young Jewish funders, presented ACCESS with an award for being one of the most innovative Jewish organizations of the year.
