Hundreds of guests including His Eminence, Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, will gather to support Inner-City Scholarship Fund, the city’s leading non-profit organization dedicated to providing tuition assistance to low-income students attending Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of New York, at its 46th Annual FRIENDS Gala on Tuesday, May 9th from 6:30 PM– 10:00 PM at Cipriani 42nd Street, 110 East 42nd Street (between Lexington and Park Avenues), Manhattan. This year’s Gala Co-Chairs are Regina Gannon, Managing Director at BlackRock; Kalliope Karella, Author; Enrica Arengi Bentivoglio and Ana Diez de Rivera-Laffont.

This event will feature remarks by Cardinal Dolan, as well as a performance by the talented students from Cardinal Spellman High School in the Bronx, Notre Dame School in Manhattan, and St. Raymond Elementary School in the Bronx.

Proceeds from the event will benefit Inner-City Scholarship Fund, which provides tuition assistance to over 8,500 students (91% minority and 42% non-Catholic). An astonishing 99% percent of seniors attending inner-city Catholic high schools graduate, and 98% are accepted to colleges and universities across the nation.
