The furniture custom-made for the R.S.V.P. to Help event, like these wood-topped tables, was donated to future housing works projects.

The packaging of Cole’s new fragrance provided the inspiration for the event’s wood accents.

Wooden boards and pen holders displayed silent auction items such as a signed Derek Jeter jersey, designer handbags, and V.I.P. tickets to see Prince in concert.

Guests used wooden paddles to bid on live auction items.

Food from Tribeca Rooftop included sushi, sashimi, dim sum and pasta stations, grilled herb-spiced baby lamp chops, mini crab cakes, and Tuscan-style antipasto.

The tent enclosing the V.I.P. ticket-holder lounge was emblazoned with the question “What’s Your Outlook?”—a reference to the altruistic bent of the evening—as well as cosponsor Saturn’s new vehicle, the “Outlook.” (Okamoto Studio crafted an ice sculpture of the car on display in the lounge.)

Provocative questions stenciled on the walls served as a call to action for guests.
