For the opening dinner, blue-hued lighting tinted the Fontaine Ballroom, where tables featured white-and-blue geometric tablecloths. White floral arrangements sat atop illuminated white blocks on some tables, while others had silver candelabras with tall, white candles. Two Ten Footwear Foundation sponsored the dinner and Kenneth Cole spoke about “The Business of Looking Good, Doing Good, and Feeling Good.”
