In lieu of gifts, we ask you to consider donating to our favorite charities.

Please visit our charity registry to make a donation.

We have chosen the Bowery Mission and the Amadeus Chamber Ensemble.

The Bowery Mission

Many New Yorkers live paycheck to paycheck in our unforgiving city, just one personal crisis away from homelessness. Meanwhile, nearly 1 in 3 NYC children live below the poverty line. The Bowery Mission, which has been serving NYC since the 1870’s, provides not only clothing, hot food, and overnight shelter for people in need; it also operates programs aimed at empowering and healing both adults and children. The Mission's individualized services ensure that your donation will be well utilized.

The Amadeus Chamber Ensemble

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." -Victor Hugo Since its creation 5 years ago, the Amadeus Chamber Ensemble has performed for thousands of people, including over 600 school children in Knoxville, TN. Musical tradition and education continues through performance, and the ACE is committed to providing this to the community for free, as well as giving local musicians paid opportunities to perform. This charity was founded by Natalie's family.
