This month, hundreds of supporters and friends of Lenox Hill Neighborhood House reunited at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York to celebrate “Flights of Fancy”—the 130-year-old nonprofit’s annual spring gala. The fundraising benefit raised critical funds to support 16,000 New Yorkers in need.
More than 40 designers contributed their talents in creating elaborate and imaginative centerpieces to provide a colorful and exuberant canopy for the celebration, which honored Board Member Thomas L. Melton and presented the Elizabeth Rohatyn Award for Community Service to the New York Health Foundation and Lifespire.
Stewarded by Honorary Design Chair and Board Member Christopher Spitzmiller, and Design Chairs Lindsey Coral Harper and Harry Heissmann, the designers used this year’s “Flights of Fancy” theme as inspiration for their creative tablescape designs.
