Danny Meyer and his Union Square Hospitality Group served and exquisite dinner while attendees bid on auction items including an appearance on the Martha Stewart Show as well as a pitch meeting with Clive Davis in his corner office of the Sony building. The event raised money to support the Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai, which was dedicated to Martha's late mother, Martha Kostyra, in 2007 upon the center's opening. The Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai serves to promote and facilitate access to healthcare resources for older adults and to enhance the public perception of aging. |
