The annual luncheon and silent auction for Hope’s Door drew approximately 220 guests—nearly twice as many as last year—to Crabtree’s Kittle House in Chappaqua. More than $30,000 was raised for the Pleasantville-based nonprofit organization, which gives shelter and support to victims of domestic abuse. The organization served 52 percent more people this year than it had last year and it opened a second office in Ossining. In addition to a buffet lunch, there was a performance by actress Lisa Regina, who shared her own traumatic assault experience. Among the items auctioned off: Melissa Etheridge concert tickets, US 2013 Tennis Open tickets, and an overnight stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester. Caroline Corley of 107.1 The Peak was the emcee to the $125-per-ticket event.
