On December 1st, the NYC Special Riggers Association (NYCSRA) kicked off the holidays by raising almost $20,000 at its First Annual Charity Poker Event benefiting the NYCSRA and the Grace Gold Memorial Scholarship Fund. The fundraiser held at the Astoria World Manor was the brainchild of Spiro Markatos, vice president of Accura Restoration & Waterproofing and member of NYCSRA, which drew a crowd of 100 contractors, architects, engineers, property managers and other members of the industry for a night of cocktails, dinner and poker. NYCSRA President John Pantanelli thanked the sponsors and attendees and praised the “great event” that supported charitable causes.
