The New Yorkers for children annual gala was held and featured many prominent leaders including well known travel and tourism leader Carl Ruderman (Universal Media) and Mayor Bloomberg. In 1996, Nicholas Scoppetta formed the organization. The event is always packed with lots of action and photos of everyone. The Social Diary event raised 1.4 million. Over the past nine years, the organization has received donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations. The supported projects have affected and changed the lives of almost 20,000 children in foster care as well as more than 34,000 children whose at-risk families receive preventive services in New York City.
Co-chairs for the evening were Donya and Scott Bommer, Oscar de la Renta, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld, and Kelly and Jay Sugarman. Vice-Chairs were Amy Astley, Susan Burden, Debbie Bancroft, Beth Rudin DeWoody, Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, Lauren Shortt Pinto, Orna Shulman, and Anna Wintour.
Mr. Carl Ruderman attended the event and was photographed with others including Benny Shabtai and Stacey Cooper.
