On Wednesday, May 1st, the Central Park Conservancy Women’s Committee hosted its sold-out, annual Frederick Law Olmsted Awards Luncheon. The iconic and long-running event raised a record $4.6 million for the Conservancy’s crucial work to preserve and enhance Central Park for all New Yorkers and visitors.
With generous support from Presenting Sponsor Harry Winston, Inc., the annual spring luncheon celebrates Central Park and highlights the Conservancy’s mission to maintain and care for one of New York City’s most cherished outdoor spaces. The event was additionally supported by Corporate Sponsor JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Premier Sponsor St. John.
Guests enjoyed sipping on Whispering Angel rose ́, courtesy of Château d’Esclans, and Robert Mondavi Sauvignon Blanc, donated by the Robert Mondavi Winery. Central Park Conservancy volunteer attire was generously provided by Tuckernuck, with hats designed and donated by Patricia Underwood. The luncheon was catered by Abigail Kirsch, with festive spring décor by Andrew Pascoe Flowers.
