PHOTO GALLERY: GALA 2018

On the evening of Monday, May 14, 2018, The Child Center of NY held its Annual Spring Gala at the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. This year’s gala celebrated 65 years of service to some of New York City’s most underprivileged children and families — and the success we have had in assisting those children to reach their full potential in life, regardless of the hurdles they face each day.

It was our sincere pleasure to honor Chef Lidia Bastianich, an Emmy award-winning public television host, a best-selling cookbook author with a dozen books published to date, a successful restaurateur, and owner of a flourishing food and entertainment business.
