PSOT honors Jane Mayer and Richard Gottfried at its 2009 Benefit! 
On Thursday, October 8, PSOT held its annual benefit in the Old Library at Bellevue Hospital. With your help, over 165 people attended and we raised over $15,000! Cristina Hernandez y Su Grupo Internacional spiced up the evening with salsa and bolero. Pasang Dolma, a professional Tibetan singer (pictured right with PSOT staff member Lhamo Dongtotsang) performed for the group as well. We want to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all who contributed to the evening. The event was only made possible because of your generosity and commitment to our program. We would also like to give a very special thanks to Jane Mayer and Richard Gottfried, our honorees, who both gave eloquent, inspiring speeches concerning advocacy on behalf of survivors of torture. The money raised from the benefit will ensure that our patients receive the medical, mental health and social services they need in the weeks and months to come. During this time your contributions are especially appreciated. But it is NOT TOO LATE to support PSOT! Click on the link to the left to make a donation.
