The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Fall Gala-Fete d'Hiver
11/04/2009 - By Four Seasons Restaurant

The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center's Fall Gala-Fete d'Hiver

On Wednesday, November 4, 2009, The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center’s (MSKCC) Associates Committee hosted their annual fall gala titled Fète d’ Hiver after the renowned French winter festival.

The event was held at the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York and was sponsored by CHANEL Fine Jewelry with additional support from Credit Suisse. The high-spirited and glamorous night was co-hosted by starlets Diane Kruger and Blake Lively. Set amidst the bold and elegant décor by Bronson Van Wyck, 350 guests attended, and danced until the late hours of the night to music by The MisShapes. The evening was Co-Chaired by Veronica Beard, Amy Raiter Dwek, Dara O'Hara, and Maria Villalba.

An impressive $394,000 was raised, fulfilling the final installment of the pledge made by the Associates Committee to raise $1.4 million over four years to endow the Clown CareSM program, a community outreach program of the Big Apple Circus that has been a very important piece of the Center’s Pediatric Department since 1986. Four times a week, year-round, specially trained Clowns from the Big Apple Circus visit MSKCC as “Doctors of Humorology” and do “Clown Rounds” in both the inpatient and outpatient Pediatric units. Endowing this program will guarantee its continuation in perpetuity, which brings so much delight and happiness to all Pediatric patients during their time at MSKCC.

The evening also featured an exciting live auction- a once-in-a-lifetime CHANEL package for two that includes a private tour of Coco Chanel’s apartment in Paris, two front-row tickets to CHANEL’s show during Fashion Week Paris and his and hers J12 watches. Sotheby’s renowned auctioneer Eliza Osborne and the Hollywood hostesses motivated the crowd and one lucky winner walked away with the CHANEL dream package for $24,000.

Diane Kruger, Blake Lively, Jason Wu, Nina Garcia, Heather and Tom Leeds, Leslie Heaney, Veronica
