The benefit’s dinner portion concluded with a performance by Norwegian artist and vocalist Tori Wrånes, who was suspended from the ceiling. It was followed by a dance party with DJ Mia Moretti featuring an impromptu, surprise performance by Ja Rule.
On September 7, politicians, philanthropists, and business executives gathered at Cipriani on Wall Street in New York to honor the fallen and raise money to support the memorial and museum. The dining tablescape featured a mesmerizing hologram prism, which displayed the Survivor Tree through the four seasons (the charred trunk of a Callery pear tree, which became known as the “Survivor Tree,” was pulled from the rubble of the World Trade Center site after the attacks and remains alive on the grounds today). The centerpiece was created by Gramercy Tech. 360 Design Events handled the styling, decor, and video art direction for the event.
