92ND
STREET Y
Tommy Tune Helps Raise
Funds
for Cultural Projects
 OMMY
TUNE
and the Manhattan Rhythm Kings entertained more than 650
black-tie guests at the 92nd Street Y annual Spring Gala.
The event, held at its Upper East Side site, raised $1.5 million to
fund scholarships, literacy programs and dance projects at the
128-year-old institution.
Tommy
fine-tuned an entertainment bill that included Kathie Lee
Gifford, Dominic Chianese of The Sopranos, Mary
Wilson of The Supremes, singer Lesley Gore and
emceed by WNBC’s Jane Hanson.
“Tonight
is a love song to New York,” said Matthew Bronfman,
managing director of ACI Capital and president of the Y.
“The
Y means a great deal to the life of the city. Tonight we celebrate
both – the 92nd Street Y and this great city.”
Among
the many notables who enjoyed the program were; Patricia and James
Cayne, CEO of Bear Stearns; Simona and Jerome Chazen,
founding chairman of Chazen Capital Partners; Sherry and Michael
Goldstein, chairman of Toys R Us Children’s Fund; William
Lauder, president of Clinique Laboratories; and Cheryl
and Philip Milstein, president/CEO of Emigrant Savings Bank.
