The New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NYSPCC), the world’s first child protection agency, held its Annual Junior Committee Spring Benefit “Savor The City” on Wednesday, May 8, 2013 at Asellina at The Gansevoort Park Hotel on Park Avenue. The evening featured cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres, along with a silent auction of highly covetable items and experiences. Exhale Mind Body Spa was the corporate sponsor. There were 185 guests in attendance, and the event raised more than $47,000 for The NYSPCC’s Trauma Recovery Program.

Over 250 cases of child abuse are reported every day in New York City – and that is only what is reported. In response to this daunting issue, The NYSPCC’s set of young philanthropists assume social responsibility each year to raise essential funds for the efforts of the agency: helping children heal from abuse and neglect, and helping families grow stronger. The Junior Committee of The NYSPCC has been supporting the efforts of the agency since 2005.

On Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at the Colony Club, Charles Renfro was the speaker at the AFA’s annual spring luncheon. A driving force behind Diller Scofidio + Renfro’s mission to integrate architecture, the visual arts, and the performing arts, Charles Renfro spoke about the firm's beginnings—designing everything from theater sets to art installations—and how spectatorship and the role of the viewer continues to influence their architectural practice.

The High Line, the redesign and expansion of the Juilliard School and Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center, the BAM Cultural District Master Plan, and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston are just a few of the cultural and civic projects with which the firm has established its international reputation.
