“We are deeply appreciative of our partnership with Mercedes-Benz of White Plains,” said Karen Cheeks-LomaxMy Sisters’ Place, chief executive officer.“Savor & Support is now a summer party staple driven by Gary Turco’s commitment to stand with My Sisters’ Place and raise awareness about and shed light on intimate partner violence and human trafficking.”
