Annual Benefit 2011 Announced for May 4 2011

Each year the Center holds its Annual Cocktail Benefit to raise nearly half of its operating costs. At the Benefit, we give awards to leading professionals in Business, Design, and Public Service.

This year, we will hold our Benefit on Wednesday May 4, 2011, from 6 - 8 PM at the Atrium Shops and Cafés, 53rd Street and Lexington Avenue.
