I had the pleasure of attending a great birthday bash of a
good friend of mine last Friday, February 12, 2016 in Dumbo, Brooklyn. You might remember him from the 2nd
Annual ‘Making A Difference” Award benefit we held last May. Terry Robison
served as our Master of Ceremony for our annual fundraiser. He did a great job of
warming up the crowd and guiding them through a memorable evening.
Did I say Terry is a performer? The same energy he brought
to our event was in full effect on Friday. The qualities that make him such a
great MC also make him a great performer. He’s warm, affable, outgoing, and has
a very direct way of engaging an audience. That’s something I envy…his moxie!
With a full band in tow, he belted out a few Prince tunes as well as a
heartfelt tribute to David Bowie. He moved the crowd to tunes that served as
the backdrop to many of our younger lives. Even if we weren’t Bowie aficionados,
you couldn’t avoid singing along to tunes that permeated the sound waves of
America.
Did I mention Terry has a big heart? In the many years I’ve
known him I’ve never encountered any negativity. He has the talent to look on
the brighter side of things, and an ability to laugh at oneself - that keeps
even the best of us sane. He has an innate understanding of the needs of people
because of his generous spirit. That’s why it was his idea to donate, in lieu
of gifts, contributions to Project Brownstone to ensure students get the
necessary textbooks and supplies for college. I’m blown away at his
selflessness and generosity.
I have to say this was the easiest and most fun I’ve had
thus far raising funds for the organization. Great friends, great party, amazing
entertainment, food and drink, and funds for PB, that’s what I consider a
win-win situation!
Importantly, Terry is a VP at Douglas Elliman. He is an exceptional real estate agent. If you're looking to work with someone with integrity, especially, in something as serious as buying, selling or renting property, he is your man!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Terry Robison
for his generous support of Project Brownstone. Thank you!!!
