Hope Funds For Cancer Research 2020 Gala Weekend

This year as COVID changed the world we live in, Hope Funds for Cancer Research was faced with the challenge of how to move forward with their annual weekend of events. 
After long discussions and many ideas it was decided to go ahead with the Scientific meeting and Women in Science panel discussion to be held over Zoom and to replace the white tie gala with a casual dinner for the local patrons and volunteers keeping the group to under 20 guests and having it outside at the Tennis Hall of Fame and more than 100 virtual guests viewing a film on Hope Funds produced by Hope Funds Life Trustee Gary Jobson.
The weekend was a huge success and still managed to raise over $200,000.
Hope Funds Trustee Leah Cann and her husband Ross kicked off the weekend by dressing up in their formal wear and standing outside the Breakers, the location for the future Gala to be held in December of 2021.
After the Zoom meeting was done the crew took time for some group photos to help document the occasion.
While many researchers have been called to help discover a vaccine for COVID, the work of cancer research remains the focus for Hope Funds. Their contribution to the world of science continues.

New York City Ballet fall Gala 2019 with Sarah Jessica Parker and friends at Lincoln Center NYC

Last night was the Fall Gala for the New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center in NY. I was so thrilled to be in the midst of such a radiant crowd lead by the always stunning and everyone's favorite NY Belle of the Ball Sarah Jessica Parker. I was also so happy to see Lizzie Tisch and Indre Rockefeller with their myriad of friends. Zac Possen dressed many of the women who's gowns were fabulous. I have to say Laverne Cox stole the show for me. She arrived late and was asking for a cocktail. The bar had closed but I convinced her I would find her a drink if she would pose for a photo. She did and somehow I found a bartender who saw the desperation in my eyes when I told her I needed a glass of champagne PRONTO!!!!! She found the last bottle hidden under the bar and opened it for me just in time for Laverne to get her drink before being whisked off to the theater.
