CIRCA Sponsors New Yorkers for Children Gala

I’m proud to announce that CIRCA will be the presenting sponsor of this year’s New Yorkers for Children Fall Gala on September 21st at Cipriani 42 in Manhattan. The Annual Gala is the major fundraising effort of NYFC and raises significant funds to assist children in foster care in New York City. Last year’s Fall Gala raised over $1.5 million. The event is one of the biggest events on the New York social calendar, and is always attended by a prominent and dedicated group who care deeply about NYFC’s mission. This year’s event Chairs include Oscar de la Renta, Tony Gilroy and Frédéric Fekkai.

NYFC was founded in 1996 and is committed to enriching the lives of young people in foster care as they strive to become successful, self-sufficient adults. Fundraising initiatives like the Fall Gala have enabled NYFC to reach these youth through scholarships, tutoring programs, job training, networking opportunities and the support needed to succeed in college. As a life-long New Yorker, I’m proud to support an organization like NYFC, which has had such a positive impact on our community, and the future of New York.

We will be kicking off the sponsorship with a cocktail party at Jonathan Benno’s new restaurant Lincoln, at Lincoln Center on September 15th to close out Fashion Week. The who’s who of the New York fashion world will be there to show their support for NYFC. Stay tuned to the blog for news and pictures from both events. To make a donation to NYFC, please visit their website.



Best,

Chris Del Gatto
Chairman & CEO
