It was an evening to remember. An extra ordinary gala of the season, organized by the Catholic Big Sisters Big Brothers charity organization. Young professionals gathered at the iconic New York Public Library for a glamorous black tie ball to benefit the Big Sisters Big Brothers charity organization. The annual event is always a wonderful way to give back to a good organization and have an epic time with other like minded philanthropic.
This years theme is An Evening in Wonderland and the Chairs are Marisol Tudela Blondet, Alison Carter Cognetti, Katzie Guy-Hamilton and Ariel Phipps Segal. They have been meeting and planning this event for months for a flawless time, and it was exactly that.
Entering the iconic Public Library is nothingness of a “Carry Moment”. All attendees were required to wear Black tie and encouraged to wear hats. Long lush dresses, and neatly tucked guests danced and enjoyed an open bar while the band stationed on the marble stairway performed, until guest were treated to the secret room in the Library with a fantastic DJ.
The night was a great success for the organization. I recommend becoming involved, donating or attending future events held.
