No matter the headlines in the papers these days, NYC’s top philanthropists and society leaders are always the first to
support a good cause as they did on October 22 when they turned out in numbers at the annual NYU Child Study Center Child Advocacy Award Dinner kickoff cocktail party at the Park Avenue home of Danielle and David Ganek. This year’s gala will be held on December 9 and will honor Paul Tudor Jones II. Last year, the NYU Child Study Center’s gala raised over $9 million to help children and teens who suffer from psychiatric and learning disorders.

In attendance at this year's kickoff cocktail event were:

Vera Wang and Arthur Becker

Laura Blankfein
Chris and Richard Mack
Julie Minskoff
Heather and Steven Mnuchin

Harold S. Koplewicz, M.D. and CSC Board members, including Marcia and Richard Mishaan, Tina Bilotti, Brooke Garber Neidich, Alice Tisch

11th Annual Child Advocacy Awards Dinner chairs Lisa Pevaroff-Cohn and Gary Cohn, Suki and Michael Novogratz and Danielle and David Ganek
