While I write this, the Natasha Hastings Foundation is hosting the “2018 INAUGURAL TEA TIME BENEFIT”. The goal of the benefit is to send 5 girls to the USATF Nationals and Youth Championships. The event is being hosted at 6 PM to 9 PM on 26 September 2018 at the NYC-Le Gande Lounge- https://www.thetimehotels.com/new-york/bars-and-restaurant-en.html.

On her Tea Time benefit, named after her You Tube Channel show, Natasha had this to say:

“The reason why I started the foundation is to support young aspiring athletes to achieve their dreams. Having watched my mother make numerous sacrifices to see me fulfill my dream made me decide that I want to support kids who are less fortunate than me. By hosting the benefit, I hope to raise funds to send 5 deserving girls to Track and Field National Championships.”
