Co-chairs Emma
Bloomberg (the mayor’s daughter) and Vogue Fashion Editor Sally
Singer are inviting 20- and 30-somethings to Summer Soiree, a
junior benefit for the Campaign for Prospect Park 2001-2005,
which set the ambitious goal of raising $116 million in five
years. (The Alliance has completed renovation of the boathouse
and will unveil the completely restored Parade Grounds in Spring
2004.)
The Soiree, to be held at the park’s 1905 Beaux Arts-style boathouse
on July 24 from 7 pm to 9:30 pm, will offer young-adult park
enthusiasts an opportunity to mix and mingle, dance to the tunes
of DJs Mikey Palms and Kear & Ayres from Williamsburg’s Southpaw
nightclub, enjoy cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, and enjoy leisurely
rides on the canopied electric boat, The Independence (pictured).
Soiree-goers are encouraged to dress in "’park chic’ – totally
up to the wearer’s imagination."
Tickets are $35-$150. For information, call Amanda Eisen, at
(718) 965-7712, or Jessie Betts, at (718) 965-8988.
