Lincoln Center Institute's (LCI) 2007 annual fund-raising Gala, held at the Rainbow Room on February 26, raised a record one million dollars to support the Institute's arts-and-education programs.

In the past ten years, the Gala has grown into one of the most visible New York events. This year, Julia Stiles and Mica Ertegun rubbed shoulders with the City's Chancellor of the Department of Education, Joel I. Klein. The Gala honored Susan Lacy, Emmy-winning creator and executive producer of American Masters, and William F. Baker, chief executive of Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21 New York, for their contributions to the advancement of television as an educational medium. Mr. Baker was presented with the first ever Mark Schubart Award in Education, established in memory of Institute's visionary founder. The William R. Kenan, Jr. Charitable Trust was also recognized for its long-standing support of Lincoln Center Institute.

For more than three decades Lincoln Center Institute has been dedicated to bringing dance, music, theater, film, architecture, and visual arts into classrooms, challenging students to learn about and through the arts.  Through partnerships with pre-K through graduate level educators in New York City and across the nation, LCI reaches more than 3,600 teachers, 120 higher education faculty, and 4,200 teacher candidates annually. Since the Institute's inception, its educational approach has reached over 19 million students worldwide.
