Guests at 583 Park Avenue for the Hispanic Society of America's annual gala. |
| Last Thursday night the Hispanic Society of America held their annual gala at 583 Park Avenue. The black tie evening honored Fundacion Godia with the award accepted by Liliana Godia; and Museo Soumaya Fundacion Carlos Slim. That award was accepted by Soumaya Slim de Romero. The Hispanic Society of America is one of the great museums of this country and yet one of the least known. |

| It was founded in 1904 by Archer Huntington in a beautiful building where it remains today on Audubon Terrace and 155th Street. Huntington endowed it financially and with a collection that rivals the best of them. It is a center for research on the history, art and culture of Spain Latin America and Portugal. Its annual fundraising gala reflects the museum's spirit of that civilization. |

To raise awareness and support for its ongoing fight to defend the lives and legal rights of abused and neglected children in foster care across the nation, CHILDREN’S RIGHTS held its Sixth Annual Benefit — honoring Douglas Durst, real estate developer and chairman of The Durst Organization — on Tuesday, October 4, 2011, at the Plaza Hotel, with over 400 guests attending, including Swizz Beatz, Governor David Paterson, Cece Cord, Alexandra and James Stanton, Paul Leclerc, Food Network Chef Chris Nirschel, Neila Radtke, Cathy Hardwick, Mario Buatta, Cori and Dan Galpern, Dolores and Merril Halpern, Cristina Civetta, and Bruce Carbone.
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, a groundbreaking musician and founding member of the hip-hop trio Run-DMC, performed. McDaniels received the 2010 Children’s Rights Champion Award and now serves on the organization’s board of directors.
Douglas Durst carries on the Durst family’s long history of supporting children, families, and communities through a wide assortment of causes and charities. Children’s Rights recognized Mr. Durst with its annual Children’s Rights Champion Award for his overwhelming generosity and outstanding philanthropy in lifting communities in New York City and beyond.

To raise support for CHILDREN’S RIGHTS during the evening, a live auction was conducted by Hugh Hildesley, Executive Vice President and Senior Auctioneer, Sotheby’s.
CHILDREN’S RIGHTS protects the lives and legal rights of America’s abused and neglected children by advocating for the reform of failing child welfare systems across the United States. Since 1995, Children’s Rights has used legal action and policy initiatives to drive lasting reform in child protection, foster care, and adoption. The organization has been instrumental in spurring the reform of dysfunctional foster care systems from New Mexico to New York, and has dramatically changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of children.
