Magic
was in the air at the Kravis Center's 15th
Anniversary Celebration Gala Benefit on February
10 in West Palm Beach, FL.
This year's Gala performance, Back to Back
to Broadway, created especially for the Kravis
Center's anniversary celebration, starred Academy
Award winners Liza Minnelli and Joel
Grey, along with Tony Award winner Brian
Stokes Mitchell and Metropolitan Opera soprano Harolyn
Blackwell.
The Gala Benefit began with a cocktail reception in
the Carl and Ruth Shapiro Founders' Room and
ended with a black-tie dinner dance in the Cohen Pavilion's
Weiner Banquet Center.
The evening of celebration was dedicated in loving
memory of Mr. Julian Cohen, a longtime
member of the Kravis Center's Board of Directors
and one of the Center's most generous supporters,
who died on February 8.
During the Gala, the Kravis Center recognized its “leading
ladies” for their efforts and dedicated service
over the past 15 years and for their continued support
of the mission of the Kravis Center. The members of
the Honorary Gala Committee were: Carol Cohen, Patricia
Cook, Lore Dodge, Renate
Dreyfoos, Elaine Gimelstob, Nicki
Harris, Elaine Langone, Hillie
Mahoney, Chris Marden, Helen
Persson, Janna Rumbough, Mary
Schott and Kathryn Vecellio.
During dinner, Kravis Center Chairman Alexander
W. Dreyfoos gave special recognition to Amin and Julie
Khoury who made a $1 million gift to the Kravis
Center's Encore Capital Campaign, the
fund-raising effort to pay for the Cohen Pavilion expansion
project.
