Tory Burch and Tabitha Simmons Celebrated at the Boys’ Club of New York’s Fall Gala

The Boys’ Club of New York and Young Advocate Party Circle co-chairs hosted an emerald extravaganza at the Pierre hotel to promote all things green.

The 71st annual fall fundraiser celebrated education in sustainability and was attended by guests like Tory Burch, Tabitha Simmons, and more—some took the green theme quite literally, donning the color of the night from head to toe. BCNY executive director and CEO Stephen Tosh spoke to the audience, explaining the organization’s shifting attention to the environment. “Our programming focus will involve boys and young men engaging in recycling and ecology programs in their clubhouses and neighborhoods, planting vegetables, and connecting with youth-oriented climate initiatives worldwide.”

The festivities were cochaired by members of BCNY’s Women’s Board, including Gabrielle Bacon, Stephanie Kearney, Ros L’Esperance, Anjali Melwani, and Gigi Mortimer. Vice chairs of the event included Lizzie Edelman, Lourdes Fanjul, Yesim Philip, and Harry Williams. A heartfelt video rounded out the evening, showcasing BCNY’s work and the young faces behind the movement. In total, $1.4 million was raised as guests celebrated well into the night.
