In the April 2017 issues of Metropolitan Magazine and 25A Magazine, Jean Shafiroff opens up about her humanitarian efforts for various organizations that she supports, and explains her practical and often glamorous approach to fundraising. “I’ve come to the conclusion that we’re here for a reason”, says Shafiroff in an exclusive interview that focuses on her inspiring career as a philanthropist. “We have to do what we can to improve the lives of future generations. We have to be socially aware and we have to do something to enact change.”
The Upper East Side’s Selina Rosa Restaurant offered an intimate ambiance and a vibrant setting - perfect for the party’s Cinco De Mayo theme.
