The institution helps those in need who live, work or go to school on Manhattan’s East Side and improves the quality of life for all those in the neighborhood.
Chairs Audrey Gruss, Diana Quasha, along with Rolex USA’s president Walter Fischer, greeted 1,000 guests. Each table was designed by a different designer using one of the works of art on display as inspiration. The highlights were the Rolex table by Richard Mishaan, as well as tables by Jackson/Aaron/Siegel, Mark Epstein, Scalamandré, Stark Carpet, Harry Heissmann for Albert Hadley and Kitty Hawks. Robert Rufino, the design chair of the evening created one for Tiffany’s.
