StreetWise Partners’ 3rd annual Taste of Success event on February 23rd, 2010 brought in over 550 business professionals and over 30 gracious food, beverage, and media partners for an evening of food, wine, music, and fun at City Winery.

We also honored 10 individuals and 1 organization with special awards for their dedication and contributions to StreetWise Partners.

A very special thank you to all participants, sponsors, distinguished guests, City Winery staff, and everyone else who made this event possible!

Here are what some participants have said about the event:

There is no quick fix to the jobs crisis in America. It’s inspiring to see StreetWise tackle the unemployment problem head on, on a human, grassroots level. There is no other non-profit doing anything close in such a meaningful, sustainable way. Every mentee turned mentor is a piece of the generation saved, a piece of the cycle broken. – Nicole Lapin, CNBC

It was great to see all the local restaurants “giving back” and contributing their time and resources to this great cause. Was fun being part of it and thank you for thinking about us. – Stephen Fried, Beyond the Dish

Taste of Success event is a unique opportunity for restaurants to showcase their talent and contribute to a good cause! – Kittichai

Streetwise Partners not only does important work to help people improve their own lives they also make it easy for sponsors and event contributors to participate in the good will efforts. The tasting event was fantastic! Great music, positive guests and good times all around. Congratulations to all the award recipients and may all you wish for come to you! – Ito En

Taste of Success was the first StreetWise event I ever attended, and I was thoroughly impressed. The evening was extremely well marketed and put together – not only was it in support of a great cause, but all the food was also delicious! – Deeksha H., Participant
