▼ THE FRESH AIR FUND’S “ONE NIGHT IN RIO”

THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART hosted its inaugural All Hallows’ Eve Benefit on October 26 in support of the museum’s Art General Fund. Attendees, including co-chairs Karlie Kloss, Wendi Murdoch, Dasha Zhukova, Samantha Boardman, along with additional guests like Derek Blasberg, Lauren Santo Domingo, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Aerin Lauder, and Alan Tisch, showed up decked in mystical and ostentatious costumes in true Halloween spirit. Upon arrival, the crowd was greeted with a Champagne reception in the Great Hall, before groups were led through various galleries for an interactive theater experience. The rest of the night featured cocktails and dancing.

OVER 700 SUPPORTERS of the Fresh Air Fund showed up at

Chelsea Piers for the “One Night in Rio” themed annual fall benefit. The evening, which was co-chaired by Tamie Peters Thomas and Rich Thomas, Isabelle Krusen, and Courtney Alexis Langer, raised over $540,000 through ticket sales and a silent auction to help provide New York City children from low-income neighborhoods with extraordinary summer experiences. The auction included coveted deals such as a three-night stay in Lake Como’s Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, as well as desirable tickets to Broadway shows and sporting events. Attendees convened at Tao Downtown later on for an unforgettable after-party.
