Point Honors New York Kickoff Reception

Trustee Patrick O’Donnell with Owen Condon of US Trust

Alumna Erika Turner

The annual January kickoff reception in advance of April’s Point Honors New York (honoring Dr. Neal Baer and Lena Dunham) was held at the astonishing studio of artist Hunt Slonem. Nearly 100 guests enjoyed appetizers and cocktails at the kickoff, as well as hearing Alumna Erika Turner (photo left) share how Point Foundation has helped her even after graduating from college. Thank you to Mr. Slonem, Richard Ziegelasch, the Point Honors Honorary Co-Chairs and Host Committee, and liquor sponsor Grey Goose for making the kickoff a success.
