| With hundreds of benefits, fundraisers and charity galas across New York City, the Tycher Family Foundation has sought an innovative method to attract and inspire emerging young philanthropists. The annual theme, “WE’LL GIVE THE PARTY…..YOU’LL GIVE THE HOPE” highlights one deserving charity each year. The Tycher Family hosts an exciting and memorable evening, underwriting 100 percent of the evening’s costs to ensure that all revenue — from ticket sales to silent auction earnings — go directly to the charity of choice. Throughout the annual selection process, the foundation considers the charity’s mission as well as its ability and performance in truly effecting positive change. |

| Washington's smart set was out in full force at Ambassador Boyden Gray's beautiful Georgetown home in support of the Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler Galleries. Gray, along with Elizabeth Ladt and Adam Ozmer hosted the soiree to thank supporters and friends of the Silk Road Society, the Freer and Sackler's year-old young professionals group. It was a muggy DC night, but all was cooler than cool amidst the Ambassador's beautiful art and antique collections. Following cocktails and welcome remarks by Ladt, Gray held court with an off the cuff chat about his collection and passion for the arts. The chicness continued out the door with event sponsor Scalamandre's wonderful red zebra gift bags containing an array of stylish swag. Guests included Lindsey and Ethan Drath, Allison and Chris Putala, Carly Pippin, Elizabeth Bridgeforth, Marc and Elise Lefkowitz, Scalamandre President Steven Stolman, Heather Safferstone, Sally Stephonkus, Laura Stifel, Frankie Lucostic, Scott Fazzini, Stefan Hurray, Aaron Patterson, Austin Bryan, Zoe Feldman, Todd Gambill, Timothy Watkins, Bill Nitze, Francis Hoang, and Lauren Cozzi. |
