DETAILS

History:               The Frederick Law Olmsted Awards Luncheon (often called "FLO") began twenty-eight years ago when a group of seventy-five women held a luncheon at Tavern on the Green to increase awareness from the private sector to support the restoration of Central Park. Over the years, the Luncheon has grown to over 1,200 guests and moved to the Conservatory Garden.  Each year the event honors private and civic leaders for their involvement in the restoration and maintenance of Central Park. This Luncheon has become the signature event of the Women’s Committee of the Central Park Conservancy, and one of New York City’s premier social events of the year. The event has sold out for years, raising millions of dollars for the care of the Park.
