More than 200 young professionals gathered at the Madison in Hoboken last Thursday for the latest Party With Purpose – a swank event to raise money for a worthy cause. Thursday’s bash raised more than $7,000 for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Hudson County, a group that helps abused children.
