Earlier this month, more than 1,200 guests attended the Hospital for Sick Children's annual Scrubs in the City benefit, which featured a “Roman Holiday” theme, with living statues, aerialists, vintage bicycles, hanging florals, and a Vespa photo station. The event, which was held at the Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, raised $820,000.
In May, more than 600 guests gathered in the New York art institution’s Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Sculpture Garden for the dinner—a first for the annual fund-raiser—to honor philanthropist Agnes Gund. The tented dining space featured sections of round and rectangular dining tables that were decorated in four springtime shades—sunshine yellow, robin’s egg blue, rich teal, and cherry blossom pink, with linens, seat cushions, glassware, and floral arrangements to match. Greenery swags hung from the clear plastic tent’s trusses, and faux grass carpeting lined the space.
