Chairs Lauren Davis, Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Renee Rockefeller, Susan Shin, Vanessa Weiner von Bismarck, and Stephanie Winston Wolkoff worked tirelessly to create a spectacular event. Generous supporters and corporate sponsors included Frederic Fekkai and Shirin von Wulffen, Hermine and David Heller Foundation, Carola and Robert Jain, Andres Santo-Domingo, David Wassong and Abigail Klem, Christina Floyd, Reservoir Capital, Carlos Miele, Costume National, Jenni Kanye, Pantone, Salviati, Tibi, Rebecca Beeson, and Valentino.
In addition to outstanding advanced ticket sales, the evening’s silent auction, which featured couture gowns, exquisite handbags, jewelry, sports tickets, spa products, travel packages, and more, set a record for NYFC and grossed nearly $50,000, more than doubling funds raised in last year’s auction.
NYFC is grateful for the support and generosity of Valery Joseph Salon, Zeller Tuxedos, Tibi, Tracey Reese, Nicole Miller, Nine West, and B Michael, who provided styling and consultation for the young people in attendance.
